why only dot product is taken between E and A n y not cross product is taken?

[Leena Gurg]

The scalar product or dot product of vectors gives us a scalar quantity and the cross product gives us a vector quantity. Flux is a scalar qty so we use a dot product to define it.

Awesome explanation...I loved the way you related the story of Mahabharat with the Electric flux.

[Leena Gurg]

Prateek, while using this example I was hoping that I would not hurt anyone's religious sentiment and people will only think of it from a Physics perspective. So thank you for your comment!
