Question : 5 of 8
Marks: +1, -0
Given a uniform electric field E=2×103i^N/C\vec{E}=2\times10^{3}\,\hat{i}\,\text{N}/\text{C}. Find the flux of this field through a square of side 20 cm20\text{ cm}, whose plane is parallel to the YZY-Z plane. What would be the flux through the same square, if the plane makes an angle of 3030^{\circ} with the XX-axis?
Solution:  
(a) The plane of the square is parallel to the yzy-z plane. Hence, angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field, θ=0\theta=0^{\circ}
Flux (ϕ) through the plane is given by the relation,
ϕ  =EAcosθ\phi\;=|\vec{E}| A \cos \theta
  =2×103×0.04×cos0\;=2\times10^{3}\times0.04\times\cos0^{\circ}
  =80Nm2/C\;=80\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^2/\text{C}
(b) Plane makes an angle of 3030^{\circ} with the xx-axis. Hence, angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field, θ=60\theta=60^{\circ}
Flux, ϕ  =EAcosθ\phi\;=|\vec{E}| A \cos \theta
  =2×103×0.04×cos60\;=2\times10^{3}\times0.04\times\cos60^{\circ}
  =40Nm2/C\;=40\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^2/\text{C}
