Electric flux linked with a surface will be maximum when
Correct answer: B. 90⁰
- A. 60⁰
- B. 90⁰
- C. 30⁰
- D. 0⁰
Explanation
Electric flux is the dot product of the Electric field and the area vector of the surface.Electric flux(ɸ) = EA cosϴThe area vector of a surface along the normal of the surface. So, when the electric field and the surface are at a 90o the Electric field and Area vector will be along one another and the flux will be maximum

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
