Question

The electric flux is defined as:
Options
A - it is the field strength multiplied by the area component PERPENDICULAR to the field (i.e. the area whose normal is along E).
B The differential of electric field intensity
C The product of electric field intensity and the area perpendicular to the field
Correct Answer
D The product of electric field intensity and the cross-sectional area to the field
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Phi = E.A = EA cos(theta) - it is the field strength multiplied by the area component PERPENDICULAR to the field (i.e. the area whose normal is along E).

Hint

Phi = E.A = EA cos(theta) - it is the field strength multiplied by the area component PERPENDICULAR to the field (i.e.
