Ok so I know that multiple dielectrics inserted into the space between two plates one on top of the other and not side by side should be treated as capacitors in series and the overall capacitance should be calculated this way but why? I can't find the theory behind this anywhere in my text.
Homework Statement
In the figure, a point charge -3.2μ C is a distance d/2 directly above the center of a square of side d = 0.34 cm . What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the square? (Hint: Think of the square as on face of a cube with edge d.)

Here is my problem. I don't fully understand Gauss' law so any assistance there would be greatly appreciated
Charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an infinitely long cylinder of radius R = 4.00×10-2 m. The charge density is 1.00×10-2 C/ m3. What is the...
