Question : 10
Total: 30
Give a uniform electric field
E
=5×103
^
i
N/C find the flux of this field through a square of 10cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the YZ plane. What would be the flux through the same square if the plane makes a 30 angle with the X-axis?
Solution:  
(a) The plane of the square is parallel to the yz plane. Hence, angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field, θ=0
Flux ( Φ) through the plane is given by the relation,
Φ=|
E
|Acosθ

=5×103×0.01×cos0
=50Nm2C
(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

=5×103×0.01×cos60
=25Nm2C
