Expression for an electric field is given by E=4000 x2 i^ V m-1. The electric flux through the cube of side 20 cm when placed in electric field (as shown in the figure) is ______ V cm.

 

Solution

Electric flux is expressed as ϕ=E·A=EAcosθ, here, A is area of the surface and θ is the angle between the electric field lines and the normal to A.

The flux will be only from DEFG surface as on the surface OABC field is zero and for rest of the surface, area vector is perpendicular to field. 

So, ϕ=EA

=4000×(0.2)2×(0.2)2 

=4000×16×10-4 V m

=640 V cm
