A flat plate with dimensions 4 cm × 6 cm is set with its plane at 37° to a uniform electric field E = 600 ĵ N/C. What is the electric flux through the plate?

Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Given:
E = 600 ĵ N/C
Plate dimensions = 4 cm × 6 cm = 0.04 m × 0.06 m
Area A = 0.0024 m²
Plate makes 37° with the electric field.
Angle between field and area vector (normal):
θ = 90° – 37° = 53°
Flux:
Φ = E A cosθ
= 600 × 0.0024 × cos 53°
= 1.44 × 0.6018
≈ 0.864 N·m²/C
Answer: (4*) 0.864 N·m²/C
