A square surface of side L meter in the plane of the paper is placed in a uniform electric field E (volt/m) acting along the same plane at an angle with the horizontal side of the square as shown in figure. [figure] The electric flux linked to the surface, in units of volt m is
- EL2
- EL2
- EL2
- zero
Answer
(4) zero
Solution
Electric flux, = E A = EA , where is the angle between E and the area vector (normal to the surface).
The square lies in the plane of the paper, its area vector is perpendicular to the paper.
E acts in the plane of the paper = 90
= EL2 90 = 0
Answer: (4)
