A closed surface is constructed in the space between two large parallel metal plates, where there is a constant electric field E. The magnitude of the field is El=1170 N/C. The numbers (1), (2), and (3) in the simulation label small increments of area of 1.5 cm² on the surface. The direction of each increment is defined to be the direction of a vector out of the surface and perpendicular to the increment's surface area. With that definition assume the direction of the first increment AA, is 65° from the direction of E, that the second increment AÃ, is oriented 90° from the direction of E, and that the third increment AA is oriented 135 from the direction of E. Find the flux through each of the three increments of area. For area AA, Nm²/C For area A For area A Pemb 9- Nm²/C Nm²/C
