Since the point charge is at the centre of the cube, the electric flux through each face is the same. Therefore, the electric flux through one face is1/6 th of the electric flux originating from or terminating at the point charge.

If ε is the permittivity of the medium, the electric flux through one face = \(\cfrac{Q}{6ε}\).
