Temperature is just a measure of how HOT or COLD a substance is, which can be easily defined by a magnitude using a numerical value say “300 K” or “27°C”. Hence we can say it is a scalar quantity.

But the energy which transfer by virtue of a temperature difference is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction of motion (from High temperature to low temperature region).

A flat sheet is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of lengths 0.400 m and 0.600 m. The sheet is immersed in a uniform electr
Katen [24]

Answer:

ФE = 9.403W

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric flux trough the sheet, you use the following formula:

\Phi_E=\vec{A}\cdot \vec{E}=AEcos\theta       (1)

A: area of the rectangular sheet = (0.400m)(0.600m) = 0.24m^2

E: magnitude of the electric field = 95.0N/C

θ: angle between the direction of the electric field and the normal to the surface of the sheet

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

\Phi_E=(0.24m^2)(95.0N/m)cos(20\°)=9.304W

The magnitude of the electric flux is trough the sheet is 9.403W
