Step by step solution

01

Given information and Theory used 

Given figure :

Theory used :

The quantity of electric field passing through a closed surface is known as the Electric flux. Gauss's law indicates that the electric field across a surface is proportional to the angle at which it passes, hence we can determine charge inside the surface using the equation below.

Φe=E·A·cosθ (1)

Where θis the angle formed between the electric field and the normal.

02

Finding the electric fluxes for surfaces 1 to 3

The electric field on surface 1 is parallel to the surface's normal but in the opposite direction, resulting in an angle ofθ1=180° between the normal and the electric field.

We can get A1, the area of the flat sheet by

A1=(4m×2m)=8m2

We can now insert our E,A1,andθ1values into equation (1) to get the electric flux :

Φ1=EAcosθ=(400N/C)(8m2)(cos180°)=-3200Nm2/C

Surface 2: The electric field is perpendicular to the surface's normal, which is 90°in this case, and cos90°=0. As a result, there is no electric flux through surface 2. That is, Φ2=0

Surface 3: It is the same as the Surface 2. That is,Φ3=0

03

Finding the electric fluxes for surfaces 4 and 5

Surface 4: The surface's sides are 4mlong, and2msin30°=4m. In the diagram, the angle between the electric field and the normal is displayed, and it may be calculated as θ4=90°-30°=60°.

Surface 4 has an area of :

role="math" localid="1649671479054" A4=(4m×4m)=16m2

We can now put our values ofE,A4,andθ4 into equation (1) to obtain the electric flux :

role="math" localid="1649671541171" Φ4=EAcosθ=(400N/C)(16m2)(cos60°)=3200Nm2/C

Surface 5: the electric field is perpendicular to the surface's normal, which is 90°in this case, and cos90°=0. As a result, there is no electric flux through surface 5. That is,

Φ5=0
