passes through the box shown in figure. The
flux of the electric field through surfaces ABCD
and BCGF are marked as ${\phi _I}$ and ${\phi _{II}}$
respectively. The difference between $\left( {{\phi _I} - {\phi _{II}}} \right)$ is (in Nm2/C) _______.
Correct Answer: -48
Explanation:
Flux via ABCD
$\phi $I = $\int {\overrightarrow E } .d\overrightarrow A $ = 0
Flux via EFGH
$\phi $II = $\int {\overrightarrow E } .d\overrightarrow A $
= [$4x\widehat i - \left( {{y^2} + 1} \right)\widehat j$].4$\widehat i$
= 16x = 16 $ \times $ 3 = 48
${\phi _I} - {\phi _{II}}$ = 0 - 48 = -48 Nm2/C
$\phi $I = $\int {\overrightarrow E } .d\overrightarrow A $ = 0
Flux via EFGH
$\phi $II = $\int {\overrightarrow E } .d\overrightarrow A $
= [$4x\widehat i - \left( {{y^2} + 1} \right)\widehat j$].4$\widehat i$
= 16x = 16 $ \times $ 3 = 48
${\phi _I} - {\phi _{II}}$ = 0 - 48 = -48 Nm2/C
