Q2.

An infinitely long wire has uniform linear charge density $\lambda=2 \mathrm{nC} / \mathrm{m}$. The net flux through a Gaussian cube of side length $\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$, if the wire passes through any two corners of the cube, that are maximally displaced from each other, would be $\mathrm{xNm}^2 \mathrm{C}^{-1}$, where x is :
