Question

The cube as shown in Fig. has sides of length L=10.0 cm. The electric field is uniform, has a magnitude E=4.00×103NC1, and is parallel to the xyplane at an angle of 37 measured from the +xaxis towards the +yaxis.
The surfaces that have zero flux are

Solution

The correct option is C S2 and S4
Φ=EA=EAcosθ, where, A=A^n
^nS1=^j(left),ΦS1=(4×103NC1(0.1 m)2cos(9037)
=24 Nm2C1
^nS2=+^k(top),
ΦS2=(4×103NC1)(0.1 m)2cos(9037)
=+24 Nm2C1
^nS4=^k(bottom),
ΦS4=(4×103NC1)(0.1 m)2cos90=0
^nS5=+^i(front),
ΦS5=+(4×103NC1)(0.1 m)2cos37=32 Nm2C1
^nS5=^i(back),
ΦS6=(4×103×103NC1)(0.1 m)2cos37=32 Nm2C1
As the field is uniform, so the total through the cube must be zero; any flux entering the cube must also leave it.
