Question

In part B, I thought positive flux is when electric fieldlines are coming out of a surface and negative when they are cominginto a surface.
Therefore, according to the picture, shouldn't theright face be the positive value(6.5x103 N/C)l2 and theleft face be the negative value-(6.5x103 N/C)l2 ? Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong. Any help wouldbe appreciated. In part B, I thought positive flux is when electric fieldlines are coming out of a surface and negative when they are cominginto a surface.
