A uniform electric field is directed along the positive y axis. If the magnitude of the electric field is 5.00 $\times$ 10⁶ N/C, the electric flux through a 400.0 cm² surface aligned along the y-z plane is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric flux is zero because the surface is aligned along the y-z plane, making the angle between the electric field and the normal to the surface 90 degrees. The flux is given by $ \Phi = E \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta) $, and since $ \theta = 90^\circ $, $ \cos(90^\circ) = 0 $, resulting in zero flux.
