Answer

(a) $\phi=0$ (b) $\phi=300\times 10^{-4}Nm^{2}/C=0.03Nm^{2}/C$

Work Step by Step

Given: $A= (2\times 3)\times 10^{-4}m^{2}y =6\times 10^{-4}m^{2}$ (plane xz) (a) $E=100i+50k$ Electric flux $\phi$ through any surface is given as $ \phi= E.A$ Thus, $\phi=(100i+50k)\times(6\times 10^{-4})j$ Hence, $\phi=0$ (b) $E=100i+50j$ Electric flux $\phi$ through any surface is given as $ \phi= E.A$ Thus, $\phi=(100i+50j)\times(6\times 10^{-4})j$ Hence, $\phi=300\times 10^{-4}Nm^{2}/C=0.03Nm^{2}/C$
