  1. The flux of the uniform electric field if field given as E→=4i^N/Cis8.0N⋅m2/C .
  2. The flux of the uniform electric field if field given as E→=−4j^N/Cis 12.0N⋅m2/C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

The given area vector of the surface,A→=(2i^+3j^)m2

The electric field,E→=4i^N/C

The electric field,E→=−4j^N/C

02

Understanding the concept of electric flux:

Electric flux is the property of an electric field that describes the number of electric field lines crossing through a given surface area.

Formula:

The electric flux through a given surface,

Ï•E=E→.A→…..(¾±)

03

(a) Calculation of the electric fluxfor the electric field E→=4i^ N/C :

The amount of electric flux through the given area if the electric field is given as

E→=4i^N/C

His is calculated using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

ϕE=(4i^N/C)((2i^+3j^)m2)=8.0N⋅m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is 8.0Nâ‹…m2/C.

04

(b) Calculation of the electric flux for the electric field E→=−4i^ N/C :

The amount of electric flux through the given area if the electric field is given as.

E→=4j^N/C

This is calculated using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

ϕE=(4j^N/C).((2i^+3j^)m2)=12.0N⋅m2/C

Hence, the value of the electric flux is 12.0Nâ‹…m2/C.
