The electric flux is φ=α σ+β λ where λ and σ are linear and surface charge density, respectively. ((α)/(β)) represents

The electric flux is $\displaystyle \phi=\alpha \sigma+\beta \lambda$ where $\displaystyle \lambda$ and $\displaystyle \sigma$ are linear and surface charge density, respectively. $\displaystyle \left(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)$ represents
