Consider a charge Q at the corner where 3 of the 6 faces of a cube of linear dimension a meet, as shown at the right. What is the total electric flux that goes through the front face of the cube (outlined in heavy lines)? Hint: use Gauss's law that says the total flux exiting a surface enclosing a volume is equal to enclosed charge divided by eo. Look for a Gausslan surface (maybe different than the surface of the given cube) that allows you to use à symnmetry argument to deduce the flux through the front face of the given cube.
