Surface integral Memes

This is what happens when Gauss's Law meets film noir. The detective just applied the mathematical equivalent of "we've got you surrounded" by measuring the electric flux through a closed surface. In electrodynamics, Gauss's Law states that the total electric flux through any closed surface equals the enclosed charge divided by a constant. So our gangster friend was literally caught in a mathematical trap - his charge couldn't escape detection once the surface integral was calculated. Next time he should consider a career in superconductivity where at least his flux would be expelled.
