1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 3 nC point charge is at the center of 5 m x 5 m x 5 m cube. What is the electric flux through the top surface of the cube?
2. Relevant equations
E=kq/r^2
φ = E.A
3. The attempt at a solution
E = (8.99*109)(3*10-9) / 2.52 = 4.3152 N/C
φ = E.A = (4.3152)(5*5) = 107.88
But, it is wrong. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
