Homework Statement
A point charge q = 112 x 10^-9 C is placed at the centre of a cube of side l = 0.2 m.
If the charge is moved all the way to one vertex of the cube, determine the flux
through each of the faces.
Homework Equations
None.
The Attempt at a Solution
I looked at the answer:
Flux through each face = Total flux / 24
= 2 109.23 / 24
= 527 Nm^2/C
And don't understand why the 24 is used.
I read somewhere that it said that the flux through the faces adjacent to the vertex where the charge is placed = 0, but I don't understand why? I think this might be why I don't understand the use of the "24". Could someone please help?
