A box with its edges aligned with the -axes is in the electric field , where x is in meters. What is the net electric flux through the box?
FIGURE shows three Gaussian surfaces and the electric flux through each. What are the three charges ,and?

The two spheres in FIGURE Q24.8 on the next page surround equal charges. Three students are discussing the situation.
Student 1: The fluxes through spheres A and B are equal because they enclose equal charges.
Student 2: But the electric field on sphere B is weaker than the electric field on sphere A. The flux depends on the electric field strength, so the flux through A is larger than the flux through B.
Student 3: I thought we learned that flux was about surface area. Sphere B is larger than sphere A, so I think the flux through B is larger than the flux through A.
Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain.
