Solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Applying Gauss Law for cube

Let the cube a Gaussian surface, and the total flux passing through the cube of side 1 is as

=q

Step 2: Flux through each face of the cube:

So, as the charge is placed symmetrically on each face of the cube.

Then, the electric flux passing through each face is equal.

Therefore, electric flux passes through the face of the cube is ϕ=ϕ6=q6
