A point charge Q = 4.70 µC is located at the center of a cube of side L = 0.160 m. In addition, six other identical point charges having q = -0.50 µC are positioned symmetrically around Q. Determine the electric flux through one face of the cube.

Total flux through the surface of the cube is equals Q/(epsilon zero). This is Gauss's law. Due to symmetry, the flux through one face of the cube = (1/6) Q/(epsilon zero). The charge Q in the formula is the charge INSIDE the cube, The charges placed at the corners are IRRELEVANT
