Abstract from DBPedia
    In electromagnetism, electric flux is the measure of the electric field through a given surface, although an electric field in itself cannot flow. It is a way of describing the electric field strength at any distance from the charge causing the field. The electric field E can exert a force on an electric charge at any point in space. The electric field is the gradient of the potential.

    電束（でんそく、英語: electric flux）は、電気力線を表す量である。 電荷から出る電束の量は元の電荷に等しい。1 Cの電荷から出る電束の総和は1 Cである。 点電荷Qからr離れた点の電束密度は、球の表面積に反比例する。
