Calculate the total electric flux leaving the cubical surface formed by the six planes x, y, z = ±5 if the charge distribution is: (a) twopoint charges, 0.1 μC at (1,−2, 3) and 17μC at (−1, 2,−2); (b) a uniform line charge of π μC/m at x = −2, y = 3; (c) a uniform surface charge of 0.1 μC/m2 on the plane y = 3x.
using Gauss' law simplifies the question into trivial maths. just take a Gaussian surface of the cube of length 5, and do the integral \[\oint\limits \vec E \cdot \vec A =\Psi_{E(net)}=\frac{Q_{total}}{\epsilon_0 }\] so, just check if the point charges are within the boundary and sub them into the \(Q_{total}\). in the case of the line and surface charge, you need to do an integral over the boundary of the Gaussian surface to find the enclosed charge.
