A uniform electric field \( E = 8 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) is along the x-axis. What is the flux through a rectangle

**Flux definition** Φ = ∮ E·dA links field to area orientation. For uniform E perpendicular to surface, Φ = E A, with A = πr² for circle. Inclination reduces flux by cosθ factor, sign indicating outward or inward crossing. Area vector Δ S = 0.2 × 0.3 = 0.06 m² along x-axis. Flux: Φ = E · Δ S = 8 × 10³ × 0.06 = 480 N·m²/C . Substituting values gives 480 N·m²/C, which matches expected magnitude for this electrostatic configuration, confirming Coulomb's and Gauss's principles and charge quantization consistency.

A uniform field \( E = 9 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) is along the x-axis. What is the flux through a rectangle of 35 cm

**Electric flux** through surface measures field lines crossing it, Φ = E·A = E A cosθ for uniform field, unit N·m²/C. For circular area in xy-plane with field along z, θ = 0°, cosθ = 1, so Φ = E·πR² directly, maximum when field normal to surface. Area: A = 0.35 × 0.45 = 0.1575 m² . Flux: Φ = E A cos 0° = 9 × 10³ × 0.1575 = 1417.5 N·m²/C . Substituting values gives 1417.5 N·m²/C, which matches expected magnitude for this electrostatic configuration, confirming Coulomb's and Gauss's principles and charge quantization consistency.

A uniform electric field \( E = 8 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) is along the y-axis. What is the flux through a rectangle

**Flux definition** Φ = ∮ E·dA links field to area orientation. For uniform E perpendicular to surface, Φ = E A, with A = πr² for circle. Inclination reduces flux by cosθ factor, sign indicating outward or inward crossing. Area vector Δ S = 0.2 × 0.6 = 0.12 m² along y-axis. Flux: Φ = E · Δ S = 8 × 10³ × 0.12 = 960 N·m²/C . Substituting values gives 960 N·m²/C, which matches expected magnitude for this electrostatic configuration, confirming Coulomb's and Gauss's principles and charge quantization consistency.

A uniform electric field \( E = 2 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) is along the z-axis. What is the flux through a rectangle

**Electric field concept** visualizes influence of source charge. Uniform field exerts constant force F = qE, and flux Φ = E·A = E A cosθ links field to area orientation, maximum when field normal to surface. Area vector Δ S = 0.3 × 0.5 = 0.15 m² along z-axis. Flux: Φ = E · Δ S = 2 × 10³ × 0.15 = 300 N·m²/C . Substituting values gives 300 N·m²/C, which matches expected magnitude for this electrostatic configuration, confirming Coulomb's and Gauss's principles and charge quantization consistency.

**Flux definition** Φ = ∮ E·dA links field to area orientation. For uniform E perpendicular to surface, Φ = E A, with A = πr² for circle.
