A uniform electric field \( E = 7 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \) is along the x-axis. What is the flux through a rectangle
**Measure of field penetration** depends on both magnitude and projected area. Understanding angle between E and normal vector is crucial, flux zero when field parallel to surface, maximum when perpendicular. Area vector Δ S = 0.25 × 0.4 = 0.1 m² along x-axis. Flux: Φ = E · Δ S = 7 × 10³ × 0.1 = 700 N·m²/C . Substituting values gives 700 N·m²/C, which matches expected magnitude for this electrostatic configuration, confirming Coulomb's and Gauss's principles and charge quantization consistency.
