Learn more physics! Even though one can be derived from the other at least for special cases. The Coulomb’s law can be used to calculate electric field for ANY charge distribution. While Gauss’s law cannot.
Q. When the net electric flux through a closed surface is zero?
As we know according to gauss law. Flux coming from a closed surface of area A is Proportional to charge enclosed by the surface given as. So net flux can be zero only if net charge enclosed by the surface is zero or Electric field is perpendicular to the surface area.

Q. Is it possible to have flux associated with an imaginary closed surface to be zero even when electric field on this surface is non zero if yes then give one example?
Yes, it is possible by applying Gauss’s Law.
Q. Is electric flux depends on area?
The numerical value of the electric flux depends on the magnitudes of the electric field and the area, as well as the relative orientation of the area with respect to the direction of the electric field.
Q. What does flux depend on?
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.
Q. Does angle affect flux?
Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field which passes through a given area. The angle at which the field line intersects the area is also important. A field line passing through at a glancing angle will only contribute a small component of the field to the magnetic flux.
Q. What is the angle for flux?
Electric Flux Formula. The electric flux through a planar area is defined as the electric field times the component of the area perpendicular to the field. Electric flux = Electric field * Area * (angle between the planar area and the electric flux) The equation is: Φ = E A cos(θ)
