Question:

Figure P24.57 shows a charged particle surrounded by three different closed surfaces, $(a),(b)$, and $(c)$. In each case, the charge on the particle and the geometry of the left side (left of the dashed line) of the surface are identical. The closed surfaces have different geometries to the right of the dashed line. In which case is the flux through the right side of the surface the greatest? In which case is it the smallest?
