Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{A} = 3 \hat{i} \mathrm{~m}^2\) \(\Phi_{\mathrm{E}} = \vec{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \vec{\mathrm{A}}\) \(\Phi_{\mathrm{E}} = (3 \hat{\mathrm{i}} + 5 \hat{\mathrm{j}} + 7 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \cdot (3 \hat{\mathrm{i}})\) \(\Phi_{\mathrm{E}} = (3)(3)\) \(\Phi_{\mathrm{E}} = 9\)
