Answer:
a. 7.046 Nm²/C
b. 2.348 Nm²/C
Explanation:
Data given:
Base of equilateral triangle = 25.0 cm = 0.25 m
Strength of electric field = 260 N/C
In order to find the electric flux we first have to find out the area of triangle.
Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.25)^{2}[/tex]
= 0.0271 m³
Lets find electric flux,
Electric Flux = E. A
= 260×0.0271
= 7.046 Nm²/C
Now we can find the electric flux through each of the three sides.
Electric flux through three sides = [tex]\frac{7.046}{3}[/tex]
= 2.348 N m²/C
