In the figure shown, Two circular disks with a radius of 65 cm.  The disks have a constant (in magnitude and direction) Electric field passing through them.  The Electric flux is to be calculated assuming that the figure represents part of a closed surface, thus affecting the sign of the flux calculated. (a) Figue A, The Electric field of magnitude 2000 N/C is passing perpendicular to the circular face.  Find the magnitude of the flux which is passing into this face of the object. (b) Figure B, the disk has the same radius as disk A, but it's face is oriented at 60 degrees to the direction of the Electric Field vector.  What is the magnitude of the flux going through this surface?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Scenario - Two discs of same radius are placed in electric field because of  which electric flux goes through them.

Given :

Radius R=65 cm=0.65 m

Electric fieldE=2000N/C

Step 2

Electric Flux ϕ=EAcos θ where,

EElectric field magnitude 

AArea

θAngle between Electric field and normal to area vector
