What is Gauss’ law with the definition of flux included?

What is the direction of an electric field?

Electric field due to a dipole
p is the dipole moment and the direction of p is from the negative to the positive end of a dipole

sign of Qenc and the direction of the net flux of a closed surface
If qenc is positive, the net flux is outward; if qenc is negative, the net flux is inward.
What is the equation for work?

Equation for Potential Difference in terms of electric field

Potential due to a continuous chare distribution

How can you find the potential energy when you have a charged particle a distance d, from an electric field?
