A cube that has a side s is in a region of uniform electric field E. Find the electric flux through each face of the cube and the total flux passing through the cube when two of its faces are perpendicular to E.
Added by Charlotte C.
Step 1
Position the cube so that two opposite faces (the top and bottom faces) are perpendicular to E. The remaining four lateral faces will then have normals perpendicular to E. Show more…
