Question

The electric flux emerging from a rectangular surface of area 0.025m² is 10 N·m²/C. If the field lines are normal to the surface, determine the electric field strength.
Options
A 0.25V/m
B 0V/m
C 200V/m
D 400V/m
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Since Φ = EA when the field is normal to the surface, E = Φ/A = 10/0.025 = 400 N/C (equivalently V/m).

Hint

Since the field is normal to the surface, flux simplifies to Φ = EA — just divide flux by area.
