E. When E and A were parallel, we called the quantity EA the electric flux through the surface.
For the parallel case, we found that EA is proportional to the number of field lines through the
surface.
By what trigonometric function of 0 must you multiply EA so that the product is proportional
to the number of field lines through the area for any orientation of the surface?

A particle sits at a distance z away from the center of a bar of length L with a uniformly distributed charge Q. The electric field the particle experiences is given by E = (2kQ∕z)*(1∕√(4z^2 + L^2)) where k is a constant. (For those of you familiar with the laws of electricity, k = 1∕(4??0).We are going to simplify this electric field expression for two special cases. In the first case the particle is very close to the bar.This is the case where z ≪ L, so the unitless quantity z∕L is very small.(a) We can rewrite the electric field as E =(2kQ∕zL)(1∕√(4x^2 + 1)) ,where x = z∕L. Expand this function in a Maclaurin seriesup to the second power of x.
