PHY 102 Electrostatics: Electric Charge and Coulomb's Law Objective Question

Question

For a uniform electric field perpendicular to a flat area A, how is the electric flux calculated?
Options
A ΦE = E / A
B ΦE = E + A
C ΦE = EA
Correct Answer
D ΦE = E²A
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When the field is uniform and perpendicular to the area, the flux is simply the product of the field magnitude and the area.

Hint

Product of field strength and area.
