    How Does Gauss's Law Apply to the Flux Through a Cube Near a Charged Sphere?

    "What does Gauss's law tell you about the net flux through some volume?" Sum should be zero. I knew I was making it harder than it was. Thanks guys

    How Does Gauss's Law Apply to the Flux Through a Cube Near a Charged Sphere?

    "Consider Gauss's law." I suppose the setup in this particular case that is confusing me. I'm probably making it harder than what it needs to be. I instinctively want to say it's the E * the Area of the cube, but that's not right.

    How Does Gauss's Law Apply to the Flux Through a Cube Near a Charged Sphere?

    I have the homework problem below with which I'm totally stumped. Can anyone out there help me out? A small cube of volume 9.0 cm^3 is 0.30 cm from a metal sphere that has charge 3.00 coulombs. If the cube is empty, what is the total flux through it?
