I wanna know that how the angle becomes "0" degrees; when electric field lines passes through a given surface (given in the image). I think it should be "90" degrees! It is a question of Electric Flux. [File Attached.]

Do you know the direction of Area Vector? Draw the direction of area vector in this diagram..|dw:1338298971151:dw|

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

|dw:1338299549373:dw|

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

|dw:1338299768435:dw| that is the direction of Area vector.. Perpendicular to plane..

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

k!

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

now what should I do with my question?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

I am asking why the angle is 0 degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the area vector and the field lines are both parallel to the plane, and are thus perpendicular

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

so we measure angle on the basis of position of area & electric field vector?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exchange || and perp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what r u saying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area vector has a direction perp to surface/// in this case angle theta is angle bw area vector and field lines

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya I also meant to ask that point which u now told. Thanx a lot:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no probs mate
