One point charge of +q is placed in the center of the cube and another point charge is placed outside the cube a distance L/2 from the edge. A) Could you use Gauss's Law alone to find the total flux of the electric field through the cube shaped surface? Explain. (You don't actually have to attempt the calculation, just describe your reasoning) B) Could you use Gauss's Law alone to find the flux of the electric field through each individual surface of the cube? Explain. (You don't actually have to attempt the calculation, just describe your reasoning)
