A uniform electric field of 2×10³ N/C passes perpendicularly through a flat surface of area 0.5 m². The electric flux is:

Answer: 1000 N·m²/C.

  • A 250 N·m²/C
  • B 500 N·m²/C
  • C 1000 N·m²/C
  • D 2000 N·m²/C

Correct answer: C. 1000 N·m²/C

Explanation: Φ = EA cos0° = 2×10³·0.5 = 1000 N·m²/C.

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
