Answer:
5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
Step-by-step explanation:
The electric flux φ through a planar area is defined as the electric field Ε times the component of the area Α perpendicular to the field. i.e
φ = E A
From the question;
E = (8.0j + 2.0k) ✕ 10³ N/C
r = radius of the circular area = 9.0m
A = area of a circle = π r² [Take π = 3.142]
A = 3.142 x 9² = 254.502m²
Now, since the area lies in the x-y plane, only the z-component of the electric field is responsible for the electric flux through the circular area.
Therefore;
φ = (2.0) x 10³ x 254.502
φ = 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
The electric flux is 5.09 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
