com/about-permeability-andpermitivity
This closed path (Hollow or solid, immaterial at this stage of discussion) is placed in uniform electric field of strength E. Electric field intensity = E Now the force on unit positive charge is = E This force will act on each & every point of surface ABCD. The total number of electric lines of forces will be total force acting inside the closed path ABCD. This can be understood by a visual example. Let us suppose that rain is falling and we placed a similar closed path under the rain. We cannot count the total number of lines along which rain drop are falling but we definitely can count or estimate total amount/volume of rainfall inside the closed path (Which is nothing but rain flux).
Similarly we cannot count physically the total number of electric lines of force so alternatively we calculate the total force on the whole surface ABCD. Since for each point on ABCD there would be a line of force so this can be mathematically obtained by taking the surface integral of electric field over the surface ABCD. The physical quantity thus obtained is electric flux and in case of magnetism it is magnetic flux. The above integral has to be carried over surface ABCD so we can write:
Now the above equation one is not fully correct as we not incorporated or taken into consideration the fact that the (free space or vacuum or anything else) be the medium has different ability or power to let through or establish an electric field. The above fact can be best understood as suppose the closed surface ABCD is kept in medium other than vacuum, the total number of electric lines of forces (or the intensity of field in new medium) through the surface ABCD gets modified. Say D and flux is 1 .
Equation 1
It is very clear from below figure that the field intensity (or number of lines of forces) upon entering the closed surface ABCD is different from what it was before entering. So for medium inside ABCD we can write equation 2.
Now from equation 1 and 2: / 1 = E/D [Equation 3] The ratio represented by equation 3 is called reciprocal of permittivity that is: 1/ 1 = D/E = 1/0 Hence we can finally write in case of electrostatics: D = E 0 [Equation 4] Hence we can finally write in case of magnetism: B = H 0 [Equation 5] So we can observe from equation 4 and 5 that the strength of electric filed or magnetic field is altered by a factor 0 or 0. Hence for any point on closed surface ABCD, the strength of electric & magnetic field which was supposed to be E or B respectively has become E 0 or H 0 because of limitation to the establishment of electric field or magnetic field in any medium. Now the rectified equation 1 valid for any medium other than vacuum is:
Equation 2
Now equation 7 is the final equation for total electric flux through the surface ABCD in any medium. If we want to calculate the density of that flux than it will be:
Equation 7
2. in electricity and in magnetism are called permittivity and permeability that power or ability to conduct the electric and magnetic field.
