Electric Flux & Gauss's Law

The electric field in the region is E⃗=ai^+bj^\vec{E} = a\hat{i} + b\hat{j} where 'a' and 'b' are constants. The net electric flux passing through a square area of side 'l' parallel to Y-Z plane is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. A square parallel to the Y-Z plane has area vector A⃗=l2i^\vec A = l^2\hat i.
  2. ϕ=E⃗⋅A⃗=(ai^+bj^)⋅l2i^=al2\phi = \vec E\cdot\vec A = (a\hat i + b\hat j)\cdot l^2\hat i = al^2
  3. So the answer is (d) al2al^2.
