Question
Consider a uniform electric field E = 3 × 103 `hat i` N/C.
- What is the flux of this field through a square of 10 cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the yz plane?
- What is the flux through the same square if the normal to its plane makes a 60° angle with the x-axis?

Solution
(a) Area of square, A = a2 = 102 = 100 cm2
= 100 × 10-4 m2
= 10−2 m2
Since the plane lies on the y-z-axis, the area vector `vecA` points in the same direction.
i.e., `vecA = (10^-2 hati) m"^2`
∴ Electric Flux through the square is:
Φ = `vecE · vecA` = `(3 xx 10^3 hati)*(10^-2 hati)`
= 3 × 101
or Φ = 30 V-m
(b) When normal to plane i.e., `vecA` makes an angle of 60° with `vecA`, then
Φ' = EA cos 60°
= `3 xx 10^3 xx 10^-2 xx 1/2`
= 1.5 × 101
or Φ' = 15 V-m
