ANS
Calculate the Net flux through each Cube.
(a)
φ 1=2 A+ 7 A +5 A−7 A−3 A−4 A=0 ,

Therefore the net charge∈this cube is zero .

(b)
φ 2=10 A +5 A +3 A−4 A−3 A−6 A=5 A

Therefore the net charge∈this cube is positive .

(c)
φ 3=8 A +5 A +2 A−7 A−6 A−5 A=−3 A

Therefore the net charge∈this cube is negative .

Test Your Understanding of Section 22.3 Figure 22.16 shows six point charges
that all lie in the same plane. Five Gaussian surfaces S 1, S2, S3, S4, and S5—each
enclose part of this plane, and Fig. 22.16 shows the intersection of each surface
with the plane. Rank these five surfaces in order of the electric flux through them,
from most positive to most negative.
