Given a uniform electric field
E
=4×103
^

N
C
. Find the flux of this field through a square of 5cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the YZ 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 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

=4×103×0.25×cos0
=10Nm2C
(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
=5Nm2C
