Gauss's law relates the electric flux \( \Phi_{E} \) through a closed surface to the total charge \( q_{\text {encl }} \) enclosed by the surface: You can use Gauss's law to determine the charge Now consider the case that the charge has been extended along the z axis. This is generally called a line charge. The usual variable for a line charge density (charge per unit length) is \( \lambda \), and it has units (in the Sl system) of coulombs per meter. Figure inside a closed surface on which the electric
