The electric field in a region is given by E=35E0i^+45E0j^ N C-1. The ratio of flux of reported field through the rectangular surface of area 0.2 m2 (parallel to y-z plane) to that of the surface of area 0.3 m2 (parallel to x-z plane) is a:b=a:2, where a=? [Here i^, j^ and k^ are unit vectors along x, y and z -axes respectively]

Solution

E=3E05i^+4E05j^ N C-1

A1=0.2 m2 [parallel to y-z plane]

=A1=0.2 m2i^

A2=0.3 m2 [parallel to x-z plane]

A2=0.3 m2j^

Now, ϕa=3E05i^+4E05j^·0.2i^=3×0.25E0

& ϕb=3E05i^+4E05j^·0.3j^=4×0.35E0

Now, ϕaϕb=0.61.2=12=ab

a:b=1:2

a=1
