QUESTION:

The cube in Fig. E22.6 has sides of length . The electric field is uniform, has magnitude \(E=400 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}\), and is parallel to the  -plane at an angle of \(53.1^{0}\) measured from the  -axis toward the  -axis. (a) What is the electric flux through each of the six cube faces \(S_{1}, S_{2}, S_{3}, S_{4}, S_{5}\) and \(S_{6}\)?  What is the total electric flux through all faces of the cube?

Equation transcription:

ANSWER:

Solution 6E

Step 1

(a)

The electric field in vector form can be written as,

   …… (1)

Here a, b, c are components of  in x, y, z direction respectively.

Now for given vector

Substitute value of a, b, c in (1)

Surface area of each side of the cube is,

Here L is length of side of cube.

Substitute  for.

The normal vector of surface 1 of the cube is pointed along the negative y-axis. That is,

The electric flux through the negative y-axis (or through the surface  of the cube) is,
