A point charge of 6.0 x10-8 C sits on the floor in the middle of a room that is 10 m long. You hold a small cardboard square measuring 1.0 cm x 1.0 cm face down, and carry it across the room at a height of 2.0 m, passing over the position of the point charge. Plot the flux through the square as a function of position, but before doing so, make sure to include the following:

-An explanation of your calculation. Also, show quantitatively that the field at the center of the square is approximately the field at one of the edges.

-A table showing your calculation with the distances, E field, flux values, and other calculations you made.

-Finally, make a plot of the flux as a function of position. Axes must be properly labeled with units.
