Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric flux through a surface is given by the dot product of the electric field and the area vector. Since the square is parallel to the yz-plane, its area vector is along the x-axis. The electric field is along the y-axis, so the dot product is zero, resulting in zero flux.
