Chapter 6, Problem 78AP
Two equal and opposite charges of magnitude Q are located on the x-axis at the points
, as shown below. What is the net flux due to these charges through a square surface of side 2a that lies in the yz-plane and is centered at the origin? (Hint: Deter-nine the flux due
to each charge separately, then use the principle of superposition. You may be able to make a symmetry argument.)
