In a certain region, the electric field is expressed as E = (3)/(5)...
In a certain region, the electric field is expressed as , where . Determine the flux of this field through a rectangular surface having an area of that is parallel to the – plane.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The surface is parallel to the - plane, so its area vector points along the -axis.
The electric field is given as:
The electric flux through the surface is the dot product of the electric field and the area vector:
Substituting :
