. Find the flux of this field through a square of side 20‌cm, 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=|

|A‌cos‌θ

‌=2×103×0.04×cos‌0∘
‌=80Nm2∕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∘
