33: To find the charge enclosed, we need the flux through the parallelepiped:
  Φ1 = AE1 cos 60° = (0.0500 m)(0.0600 m)(2.50 × 10 4 N C) cos 60° = 37.5 N ⋅ m 2 C
  Φ 2 = AE2 cos 120° = (0.0500 m)(0.0600 m)(7.00 × 10 4 N C) cos 60° = − 105 N ⋅ m 2 C
So the total flux is Φ = Φ1 + Φ 2 = (37.5 − 105) N ⋅ m 2 C = −67.5 N ⋅ m 2 C , and
q = Φε0 = (−67.5 N ⋅ m 2 C)ε 0 = −5.97 × 10 −10 C.
b) There must be a net charge (negative) in the parallelepiped since there is a net
flux flowing into the surface. Also, there must be an external field or all lines would point
toward the slab.
