Question

The electric flux Φ is defined as
Options
A product of E and area parallel to field
B differential of E and area perpendicular
C product of E and area perpendicular to field
Correct Answer
D product of E and cross-sectional area
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Φ = ∫ E·dA = E A cosθ, where θ is angle between E and normal. For area perpendicular to field, θ=0.

Hint

Φ = E A cosθ.
