Q. A cylinder of length L and radius b has its axis coincident with the x-axis. The electric field in this region is $ \displaystyle \vec{E}= 200 \hat{i}$ . Find the flux through the left end of the cylinder.
(a) 0
(b) 200 πb²
(c) 100 πb²
(d) 200 πb²

Ans: (d)
Sol: $ \displaystyle \phi = \vec{E}.\vec{S}$
Electric field is along X- axis & area Vector is along -ve X -axis
$ \displaystyle \phi = (200)\hat{i}.(\pi b^2)(-\hat{i}) $
$ \displaystyle \phi = – 200 .\pi b^2 $
