उत्तर
The flux of an electric field `vec"E"` through a surface area `triangle vec"S"` is given by Δ Ø = `vec"E" . triangle vec"S" `, where ΔØ is the flux . Therefore , ΔØ= E Δ S Cos θ .
Here , θ is the angle between the electric field `vec"E" ` and the normal to the surface area.
Thus, for the flux to be maximum, cos θ should be maximum. Thus, for θ = 0, the flux is maximum, i.e. the electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface area.
The flux is minimum if θ = 90. Thus, cos θ = 0 and, hence, flux is also 0. Thus, if the electric field lines are parallel to the surface area, the flux is minimum.
