An infinitely long wire has a uniform linear charge density $\lambda = 2 \ nC/m$. The net flux through a Gaussian cube of side length $a = \sqrt{3} \ cm$, if the wire passes through any two corners of the cube that are maximally displaced from each other, would be $x \ Nm^2 C^{-1}$, where $x$ is: [Neglect any edge effects and use $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI$ units] (in $\pi$)

The flat base of a hemisphere of radius $a$ with no charge inside it lies in a horizontal plane. $A$ uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ is applied at an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the vertical direction. The electric flux through the curved surface of the hemisphere is

Choose the incorrect statement:
$(a)$ The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.
$(b)$ $A$ charge '$q$' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.
$(c)$ In a uniform electric field,the net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge is zero.
$(d)$ When the electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface,it provides a finite non-zero flux.
