Evaluate electric flux through each of the six faces of cube


A cube is located with one corner at the origin of an x, y, z coordinate system. One of the cube's faces lies in the x, y plane, another in the y, z plane, and another in the x, z plane. In other words, the cube is in the first octant of the coordinate system. The edges of the cube are 0.20 m long. A uniform electric field is parallel to the x, y plane and points in the direction of the + y axis. The magnitude of the field is 1500 N/C. (a) Find the electric flux through each of the six faces of the cube. (b) Add the six values obtained in part (a) to show that the electric flux through the cubical surface is zero, as Gauss' law predicts, since there is no net charge within the cube.
