@eyust707 Please help:)

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Ive never studied E and M but I could think about it for a sec if you would like

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

k!

OpenStudy (eyust707):

if theta is 45 then cos 45 = 1/rt2

OpenStudy (eyust707):

just plug that into what youve written...

OpenStudy (eyust707):

do you have any info about the vectors?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya. very much

OpenStudy (eyust707):

?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

I mean I know basics of vectors.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

no no were you given any information about the vectors

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

no.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

assuming what youve posted is correct with theta = 45 the electric flux would simply be equal to some value

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

k! it means it has nothing to do with something like max. flux or min. flux.

OpenStudy (eyust707):

no! okay so assuming that we hold the magnitude of both the vectors constant and then only change theta we can see that the only function changeing the value of the dot product would be cos theta

OpenStudy (eyust707):

what is the greatest cos theta can ever be?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

1

OpenStudy (eyust707):

and at what thetha would that be?

OpenStudy (yash2651995):

at theta= 0

OpenStudy (eyust707):

yes!

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

k! i have got it thanx.
