(N/A) Electric flux $\Phi_E$ is defined as the product of the electric field $E$ and the area $A$ through which it passes,given by $\Phi_E = E \cdot A$.
The $SI$ unit of electric field $E$ is $\text{newton per coulomb}$ $(N/C)$ or $\text{volt per meter}$ $(V/m)$.
The $SI$ unit of area $A$ is $\text{square meter}$ $(m^2)$.
Therefore,the $SI$ unit of electric flux is $(N/C) \cdot m^2 = N \cdot m^2/C$ or $(V/m) \cdot m^2 = V \cdot m$.
Thus,the $SI$ unit of electric flux is $N \cdot m^2 \cdot C^{-1}$ or $V \cdot m$.

Two co-axial conducting cylinders of same length $\ell$ with radii $\sqrt{2} R$ and $2 R$ are kept,as shown in Fig. $1$. The charge on the inner cylinder is $Q$ and the outer cylinder is grounded. The annular region between the cylinders is filled with a material of dielectric constant $\kappa=5$. Consider an imaginary plane of the same length $\ell$ at a distance $R$ from the common axis of the cylinders. This plane is parallel to the axis of the cylinders. The cross-sectional view of this arrangement is shown in Fig. $2$. Ignoring edge effects,the flux of the electric field through the plane is ($\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space):
