When point charge Q is kept at the point A.

(b)

When point charge is just out side of the point A, then (i) (ii) total flux through cube is zero For faces EFGH, CDEF and BCFG, the orientation of charge Q Q is same as in case (a), so, EFGH = CDEF = BCEF = 240

(iii)

Orientation of charge Q with respect to faces ABCD, ADHE and ABGH is same, so ABCD = ADHE = ABGH = x, Therefore, 3x + 3 Q Q =0 x= 240 240 Q 0
