Consider a uniform electric field

\mathbf{E} = 3 \times 10^3 \hat{i}

N/C. (1) What is the flux of this field through a square of 10 cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the

yz

plane? (2) What is the flux through the same square if the normal to its plane makes a

60^\circ

angle with the

x

-axis?
