Electric Flux Calculation in a Uniform Electric Field
What is the electric flux through a square surface immersed in a uniform electric field?
Calculate the electric flux through a square surface immersed in a uniform electric field with given magnitude and angle.
Electric Flux Calculation:
The electric flux through the square surface in question is calculated to be 0.013 N*m^2/C, using the provided values for the electric field magnitude, surface area, and angle between the electric field lines and surface normal.
Explanation:
The electric flux through a surface is given by the equation Φ = E*A*cosθ, where E is the magnitude of the electric field, A is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the electric field lines and the perpendicular (or normal) to the surface.
In this case, given E = 1900 N/C, A = 8.41 * 10^-6 m^2, and θ = 35°. By calculating Φ = 1900 N/C * 8.41 * 10^-6 m^2 * cos(35°), we get Φ = 0.013 N*m^2/C. Thus, the electric flux through the surface is 0.013 N*m^2/C.
