24)

Explanation:
An electric field is present in space with components along x and y directions. A rectangular
surface is kept parallel to the Y–Z plane. We have to find the electric flux through this surface.

Concept:
This question is based on electric flux through a surface using the dot product of electric field
and area vector.

Solution:
Given electric field:
= (2/5)E₀ î + (3/5)E₀ ĵ

E₀ = 4.0 × 10³ N/C

Surface is parallel to Y–Z plane,

so its area vector is along +x direction.

Only x-component of electric field contributes to flux.

Eₓ = (2/5)E₀
Eₓ = (2/5) × 4.0 × 10³
Eₓ = 1.6 × 10³ N/C

Area A = 0.4 m²
 Electric flux:
ϕ = Eₓ A
ϕ = (1.6 × 10³) × 0.4
ϕ = 6.4 × 10² N m² C⁻¹

Explanation: Find the activation energy (Ea) for the backward reaction in the presence of
catalyst.

Concept: Collision theory

Solution:
The activation energy (Ea) for the backward reaction is the energy required to go from the
products (C + D) to the transition state (the peak of the curve).

In the presence of a catalyst, the reaction follows curve M, which has a lower peak than curve
N.
From the diagram, the energy difference from the product level to the reactant level is P.
The energy difference from the reactant level to the peak of the catalyzed curve M is Q.
Therefore, the total activation energy for the backward reaction with a catalyst is P + Q.
