In the figure,a point charge $+Q_1$ is at the centre of an imaginary spherical surface and another point charge $+Q_2$ is outside it. Point $P$ is on the surface of the sphere. Let $\Phi _s$ be the net electric flux through the sphere and $\vec E_p$ be the electric field at point $P$ on the sphere. Which of the following statements is $TRUE$?

The electric field ( $\overrightarrow{E}$ in $N C^{-1}$ ) in a region is given by $\overrightarrow{E} = 3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}$. The net electric flux through a square area of side $2 \ m$ parallel to the $y-z$ plane is:

$A$ point charge $+q$ is placed at the centre of a cube of side $L$. The electric flux emerging from the cube is

If there is only one type of charge in the universe,then ($ \vec{E} $ = Electric field,$ \vec{d}s $ = Area vector):

The figure shows two situations in which a Gaussian cube sits in an electric field. The arrows and values indicate the directions and magnitudes (in $N-m^2/C$) of the electric flux through the faces of the cube. What is the net charge (in the two situations) inside the cube?
