Question

A cone of base radius R and height h is located in a uniform electric field E parallel to its base. The electric flux entering the cone is:
  1. 4EhR
  2. 2EhR
  3. 12 EhR
  4. EhR

A
12 EhR
B
2EhR
C
4EhR
D
EhR
Solution
Verified by Toppr

We know that,
ϕ=E.ACosθ
Flux crossing through the area of cone parallel to the electric field which is nothing but a right angle triangle having base 2R and height h
therefore, ϕ=EhR
