Solution
The correct option is Aαl3 Given,
Electric field, →E=αx^i
Since, electric field is directed along positive x− direction. Therefore, field lines are perpendicular to faces ABCD and EFGH.
At all other four faces field line are tangential. So, net flux passing through these four faces will be zero.
