Ok, with this problem, I am obtaining the dot product of the two vectors. I believe the vector for the 'plane' would be N= [.14 + .14 + 1]
When I do the dot product as follows:
Ex*Nx + Ey*Ny + Ez*Nz = # NM^2/C
5100*.14 + 2100*.14+3500*1 = 4508 N M^2/C for the flux through the surface...
Ahhhh! Thank you. I appreciate the guidance in the correct direction.
My cognitive friction is a result of taking one or two college classes at a time, hence, many classes that are taken during the same semester for full time students are spread out by a few years for me. I have to...
Thank you for the push in the direction. I understand I have to convert the area into a vector. I have been looking through my old notes and texts on this subject. Since the area is assumed to be flat (no 'z' (k) component), I assumed zero for that value. I took the square root of .14 m^2...
Homework Statement
A flat surface with area .14 m^2 lies in the x-y plane, in a uniform electric field given by E=5.1i +2.1j+3.5k kN/C.
A) Find the flux through the surface.
