Marks: +1, -0
Given a uniform electric field E→=4×103i^N∕C. Find the flux of this field through a square of 5cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the Y−Z plane. What would be the flux through the same square, if the plane makes an angle of 30∘ with the X-axis?
Solution:
(a) The plane of the square is parallel to the y−z plane. Hence, angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field, θ=0∘
Flux (Ï•) through the plane is given by the relation,
ϕ=|E→|Acosθ
=4×103×0.25×cos0∘
=10Nm2∕C
(b) Plane makes an angle of 30∘ with the x-axis. Hence, angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field, θ=60∘
Flux, ϕ=|E→|Acosθ
=4×103×0.25×cos60∘
=5Nm2∕C
