Gauss's Law: the Cube of Insulating Material Shown in the Figure

question 13

Short Answer

Gauss's law: The cube of insulating material shown in the figure has one corner at the origin. Each side of the cube has length 0.080 m so the top face of the cube is parallel to the xz-plane and is at y = 0.080 m. It is observed that there is an electric field = (3280 N/C ∙ m)y that is in the +y direction and whose magnitude depends only on y. Use Gauss's law to calculate the net charge enclosed by the cube. (ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²)
