Electric flux is a scalar quantity, because it's the dot product of two vector quantities, electric field and the perpendicular differential area.

This is written in terms of differentials as:

dΦE = E � dA,

where dΦE is the differential electric flux, E is the electric field, and dA is the perpendicular differential area. Bolded quantities are vectors.

However flux-density is a vector quantity and electric flux density is related to electric field by a constant called the permittivity.

Electric flux density is a vector quantity, typically denoted by the symbol D. It is defined as the electric flux per unit area and points in the direction of the electric field.
