<ANSWER>

Answer: The electric flux through the bottom of the car is 35.45 104   m2 C .

</ANSWER>

<EXPLANATION>

Explanation:

Given info: The magnitude of Electric field is 2.00 104 Ν C , Car with rectangular size
of 6.00 m by 3.00 m and the value of angle θ is 10.0

The formula to calculate the electric flux is,


 =Ε  Αcosθ
Here,
 is the Electric flux.
Ε is the magnitude of electric field.
Α is the area
θ is the angle between Ε and Α .

First we have to calculate the area of the rectangular car whose dimensions are given.

  6.00 m×3.00 m
=18 m2

Substitute 2 104 Ν for Ε , 18m 2 for Α . 10 for θ . in the above formula as,
 =Ε  Αcosθ
=2 104 Ν C 18 m 2  cos10
 35.45  104   m 2 C
We used the value of cos10  0.98481 in the above expression.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the electric flux is 35.45 104   m2 C .
