Chapter 22.3, Problem 22.3TYU
Figure 22.16 shows six point charges that all lie in the same plane. Five Gaussian surfaces—S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5—each enclose part of this plane, and Fig. 22.16 shows the intersection of each surface with the plane. Rank these five surfaces in order of the electric flux through them, from most positive to most negative.
