1. The Square of the side is$d$
2. Proton is placed at $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}$distance above the square

The net flux through each cube surface is given by dividing the total flux value through the cube by 6. Thus, the net flux is given using the concept of the Gauss flux theorem.

Formula:

The net flux passing through an enclosed volume, ${\mathrm{Ï•}}_{\mathrm{net}}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{{\mathrm{Î\mu }}_0}$ (1)

To exploit the symmetry of the situation, we imagine a closed Gaussian surface in the shape of a cube, of edge length d, with a proton of charge$\mathrm{e}=1.6×{10}^{-19}\mathrm{C}$situated at the inside center of the cube.

The cube has six faces, and we expect an equal amount of flux through each face. Thus, the flux through the square is one-sixth of that the total flux of equation (1) and is given by:

$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{ϕ}=\frac{1.6×{10}^{-19}\mathrm{C}}{6×(8.85×{10}^{-12}{\mathrm{C}}^2/\mathrm{N}.{\mathrm{m}}^2)}\\ =3.01×{10}^{-9}\mathrm{N}.{\mathrm{m}}^2/\mathrm{C}\end{array}$

Hence, the value of the flux is $3.01×{10}^{-9}\mathrm{N}.{\mathrm{m}}^2/\mathrm{C}$.
