I have seen plenty of definitions and descriptions of electric flux. Most of them say it is the number of field lines per unit area.
However how can there be a fixed number of field lines in a unit area?
If we take an area in an electric field, there exists a field at every point.(A simple scenario).
Thus in that area there are infinitely many field lines right?
Also if we take into account the curvatures of the field lines, then I could see that there is a difference. But numerically, there are still infinite lines in that area right?
What am I thinking incorrectly? Please help me as I am unable to wrap my head around this topic
