Detailed Solution

Given that the electric field intensity is (3 x103) hence, the magnitude of electric field intensity is |E|=3×103N/C, the side of the square is s=10cm=0.1m; area of the square is A=S2=0.01m2 The plane of the square is parallel to the y-z plane; therefore, the angle between the unit vector normal to the plane and electric field is given by θ = 0o. Now, the flux through the plane is given by
ϕ=|E|Acosθ……………….(1)
Substituting the values in Eq. (1), we get
ϕ=3×103×0.01×cos0=30Nm2/C.
