Question
### Magnetic Flux Through a Cube

#### Problem Description

A cube with edge length \( \ell = 6.0 \, \text{cm} \) is depicted, oriented with its edges along the x, y, and z axes. A uniform magnetic field exists in the region, characterized by the components:
- \( B_x = +3.0 \, \text{T} \)
- \( B_y = +8.0 \, \text{T} \)
- \( B_z = +5.0 \, \text{T} \)

#### Diagram

The diagram shows a three-dimensional cube where:
- The cube is situated in space with one vertex at the origin.
- The faces of the cube are parallel to the coordinate planes (xy, yz, zx planes).
- A magnetic field vector \( \mathbf{B} \) is indicated with an arrow, showing a general orientation.

#### Tasks

(a) **Calculate the Magnetic Flux Through the Shaded Face**

Given:
- A specific face of the cube is shaded.
- Calculate the flux \( \Phi \) through this face using the formula:
  \[
  \Phi = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta)
  \]
  where \( B \) is the component of the magnetic field perpendicular to the face, \( A \) is the area of the face, and \( \theta \) is the angle between the field lines and the normal to the face.

- **Area calculation:**
  \[
  A = \ell \cdot \ell = (0.06 \, \text{m})^2
  \]

- **Identify the correct \( B \) for the face:**
  Assume the shaded face is perpendicular to the x-axis:
  \[
  \Phi = B_x \cdot A = 3.0 \, \text{T} \times (0.06 \, \text{m})^2
  \]

(b) **Net Flux Through the Entire Cube**

- The net magnetic flux through a closed surface (such as the cube) is given by Gauss's law for magnetism:
  \[
  \text{Net Flux} = 0
  \]
  Since it's a closed surface and magnetic field lines do not begin or end inside the material, they continue through, making the net flux zero.
