====== Flux ======



<tabbox Intuitive> 


<blockquote>
  * Flux is the amount of “something” (electric field, bananas, whatever you want) passing through a surface.
  * The total flux depends on strength of the field, the size of the surface it passes through, and their orientation.

<tabbox Concrete> 

  * A perfect explanation of the flux in vector calculus can be found in Section 3 of Vol. 2 of Feynman's Lectures on Physics, which are available [[http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_03.html|here]]

<note tip>
The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//.

<tabbox Why is it interesting?> 

<blockquote>Once you understand flux intuitively, you don’t need to memorize equations. The formulas become “obvious” dare I say. [...] Your vector calculus math life will be so much better once you understand flux. And who doesn’t want that?
