The electric field E in Fig. P22.35 is everywhere parallel to the x-axis, so the components Ey and Ez are zero. The x-component of the field Ex depends on x but not on y or z. At points in the yz-plane (where x = 0), Ex = 125 N/C. (a) What is the electric flux through surface I in Fig. P22.35? (b) What is the electric flux through surface II?
