At each point on the surface of the cube shown in Figure 23-27, the electric field is parallel to the z axis. The length of each edge of the cube is 4.0 m. On the top face of the cube E = -40 k N/C, and on the bottom face of the cube E = +29 k N/C. Determine the net charge contained within the cube.
Image: here
Flux = (29E3 N/C)(4.0)^2;
Flux = 464000 k going up
Flux = (-40E3 N/C)(4.0)^2;
Flux = -640000 k going down
Net Flux = -640000 + 464000 = -176000
I submitted it and was inncorrect,
So i tried added them together and i got 1.104E6, that's the flux, now I found an equation that says, Flux = Qtotal/Eo, so I took Flux*Eo = Qtotal and got 9.7704E-6 and it is still wrong!
