Problem 66P
IPA uniform electric field of magnitude 6.00 × 103 N/C points upward. An empty, closed shoe box has a top and bottom that are 35.0 cm by 25.0 cm, vertical ends that are 25.0 cm by 20.0 cm, and vertical sides that are 20.0 cm by 35.0 cm. (a) Which side of the box has the greatest positive electric flux? Which side has the greatest negative electric flux? Which sides have zero electric flux? (b) Calculate the electric flux through each of the six sides of the box.

Problem 66P
IPA uniform electric field of magnitude 6.00 × 103 N/C points upward. An empty, closed shoe box has a top and bottom that are 35.0 cm by 25.0 cm, vertical ends that are 25.0 cm by 20.0 cm, and vertical sides that are 20.0 cm by 35.0 cm. (a) Which side of the box has the greatest positive electric flux? Which side has the greatest negative electric flux? Which sides have zero electric flux? (b) Calculate the electric flux through each of the six sides of the box.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
In the given case, we need to comment on which side of the box has greater positive electric flux , greater negative electric flux and zero flux. Also, we need to calculate the electric flux through each of the six sides of the box.
The closed box with dimensions on its top and bottom surface and vertical ends are
and the vertical sides are
. Such a box is placed in a uniform electric field which has a magnitude
pointing vertically upwards.
