Question

Electric flux through a surface is maximum when the angle between E and A is:
Options
A is largest when cos(theta) = 1, i.e. theta = 0 - the field passes straight through the surface, perpendicular to its face.
B 180 degrees
C 90 degrees
D 0 degrees
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Phi = EA cos(theta) is largest when cos(theta) = 1, i.e. theta = 0 - the field passes straight through the surface, perpendicular to its face.

Hint

Phi = EA cos(theta) is largest when cos(theta) = 1, i.e.
