A square surface of area 9 cm2 is in a space of uniform electric field of magnitude 104 N/C . The amount of flux through it depends on how the square is oriented relative to the direction of the electric field. Find the electric flux (in N · m2/C) through the square, when the normal to it makes the following angles with the electric field. Note that these angles can also be given as  180° + θ.  a. 36degrees b. 90 degrees c. 0 degrees
