Homework Statement
A region of space around the origin contains an electric field E = 2.0i − 3.0 j. Such a field cannot exist
in empty space. Find the total charge within a cube of side a = 0.5m centered on the origin, with its six faces
possessing normals in the six cardinal directions ±i,±j,±k.
Homework Equations
∫ E da = q/εo
The Attempt at a Solution
So I know what E is so I can plug that into gauss' law and dot that into the surface area of a side of the cube, then set that equal q/εo
I really only have to be concerned he with +/- i and +/- j
(2.0i − 3.0 j) . (+/-a2i +/-a2j) = q/εo
Is this right so far, if it is ill just solve for q, but I am not sure if I am right to this point
