A closed triangular box is kept in an electric field of magnitude `E=2xx10^(3)NC^(-1)` as shown in the figure.

Calculate the electric flux through the entire surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Entire surface `phi_("tot")=?`
`phi_("tot")=phi_("vs")+phi_(s.s)+phi_("ends")" "phi_("ends")=EAcostheta`
`theta=90^(@),cos90^(@)=0`
`phi_("ends")=0`
`=-15+15+0`
`phi_("tot")=0`.
