Question

flat sheet is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of lengths 0.400 mm and 0.600 mm. The sheet is immersed in a uniform electric field of magnitude 76.7 N/CN/C that is directed at 20 ∘∘ from the plane of the sheeta- Find the magnitude of the electric flux through the sheet?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$

Explanation:

Flux is given by

$\phi=EAcos\theta$

A = Area

$A=0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}$

E = Electric field = 76.7 N/C

Angle is given by

$\theta=90-20\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}$

$\phi=76.7\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\times 0.6\times 10^{-3}\times cos70\\\Rightarrow \phi=6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$

The flux through the sheet is $6.29591\times 10^{-6}\ N/C^2$
