​ A flat surface with area of 7.00 m 2 is oriented at an angle θ to a uniform electric field with magnitude 6.0 × 10 5 N/C. If the flux through this surface is 2.0 × 10 6 N ⋅ m 2 /C, what is θ ?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\theta =28.42^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Area of surface [tex]A=7\ m^2[/tex]

Electric Field strength [tex]E=6\times 10^5\ N/C[/tex]

Flux through Surface [tex]\phi =2\times 10^6\ N-m^2/C[/tex]

Surface is Oriented with Electric field at an angle [tex]\theta [/tex]

so Angle between Area vector and Electric Field is [tex]\angle =90-\theta [/tex]

And flux is given by

[tex]\phi =\vec{E}\cdot \vec{A}[/tex]

[tex]\phi =E\cdot A\cos (90-\theta )[/tex]

[tex]2\times 10^6=6\times 10^5\times 7\times \cos (90-\theta )[/tex]

[tex]\sin \theta =0.476[/tex]

thus [tex]\theta =28.42^{\circ}[/tex]
