Thanks again, you have been extremely helpful.

So was I using the wrong constant when solving for the problem... meaning I got the answer wrong? I was using 8.99E9. Should I be using 8.85E-12?

Oooooooooook, now I understand. Thank you very much for all your help!

Yes, I know. I know this is probably a stupid question... please bear with me. \stackrel{Q}{\overline{\epsilon}} = \stackrel{C}{\overline{Nm^{2}C^{-2}}} = \stackrel{C^{3}}{\overline{Nm^{2}}} Why is that wrong?

Okay, thank you very very very very much. I'm still confused about why the units work out that way - could you explain that to me?

Oops, -3.60E12... but am I doing it correctly now?

Okay so (\sum\phi)\epsilon = Q? Q = -2.16E13?

Homework Statement Well, here's the homework question: A charge Q is located inside a rectangular box. The electric flux through each of the six surfaces of the box is: phi1=+1500Nm^2/C, phi2=+2200Nm^2/C, phi3=+4600Nm^2/C, phi4=-1800Nm^2/C, phi5=-3500Nm^2/C, and phi6=-3400Nm^2/C. What is...
