surface
The surface integral means the integral must be evaluated over the surface in question
In general, the value of the flux will depend both on the field pattern and on the surface
The units of electric flux is N.m2/C
The net flux through any closed surface surrounding a point charge, q,
is given by q/o and is independent of the shape of that surface
Left hand side of the equation is simply the total (net) electric flux through the Gaussian Surface
