Question

A square surface of side L m is in the plane of the paper. A uniform electric field $\rightarrow$ E $\bigg(\frac{V}{m}\bigg)$, also in the plane of the paper, is limited only to the lower half of the square surface, (see figure). The electric flux in SI units associated with the surface is :

• A. $\frac{\text{EL}^2}{(2\epsilon_0)}$
• B. $\frac{\text{EL}^2}{2}$
• C. Zero
• D. EL2

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Zero

Answer 2

Electric flux, E =$\int$Ē·$ds$
= $\int$E$ds$ cos 0
= $\int$E$ds$ cos 90° = 0 .

Therefore, the correct option is (C): Zero
