  Flux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Except in the case of active transport, net flux is directly proportional to the concentration difference across the membrane, the surface area of the membrane, and the membrane permeability constant.
In [ecology]], flux is often considered at the ecosystem level - for instance, accurate determination of carbon fluxes (at a regional and global level) is essential for modelling the causes and consequences of global warming.
The flux of electric and magnetic field lines is frequently discussed in electrostatics.

 Gauss's Law
The total of the electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.
The electric flux through an area is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface projected in a plane perpendicular to the field.

 Gauss' Law
The flux passing through the sides of the cube is zero since these sides are parallel to the field lines and thus do not intercept any of them.
The total flux through the surface of the cube is the sum of the fluxes through all sides, and it is zero.
Because the flux is proportional to the number of field lines passing through the area, we expect the flux to be proportional to the charge inside the surface.

 Section 26.0 Introduction
An important subject in the study of electric fields is the topic of electric flux.
Electric flux is the product of the electric field strength and the amount of a surface area perpendicular to the field.
For example, electric flux increases with the strength of the electric field and the amount of surface area through which it passes.

As the primary flux loop oscillates between modes it periodically enters the H-loop mode where the structure displays the characteristics of an electric dipole structure.
Typically the neutron generation occurs at the greatest rate along the poloidal axis at the inner equator; the resultant neutron flux is utilized to enhance (by the contribution of neutrons) reactions catalyzed in the core.
These are generated by a process the effect of which is the same as if there had been a pi/2 radian rotation of the magnetic flux density vector of an ordinary macro scale closed magnetic flux loop system around the axis of the Poynting vector which is everywhere a normal to a flux loop quasi-surface.

 Microwave & electromagnetic engineering - Electric Flux and Intensity
Electric flux is conventionally described in terms of fictitious flow lines, originating from a positive charge distribution, and terminating on associated negative charge distributions.
The density of the 'flux lines', or 'lines of force' per unit area, may be taken as a measure of the 'strength' of the electric field, or its intensity.
In other words, the denser the flux lines due to a charge configuration, the more intense the electric field due to that configuration.

The rate of change of electric flux with respect to time through a dielectric when the applied electric field is varying.
At electrical frequencies, when a potential is suddenly pulsed onto a coil, within a very short time the full potential may be measured across the coil, despite the infinitesimal magnitude of the initial current.

 Re: How do I determine what the electric flux through a sphere is?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
According to Gauss' Law, in homogeneous medium the flux of electric field through a closed surface is equal to the electric charge contained in the surface divided by the permittivity.
Therefore, if a sphere contains a point charge q, the flux of electric field through the sphere is q/epsilon.
If the sphere does not contain charge, the flux is zero.
