Explain the electric field lines and the magnitude of electric field.

An infinitely long uniform line charge distribution of charge per unit length $\lambda$ lies parallel to the $y$-axis in the $y-z$ plane at $z=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a$ (see figure). If the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the rectangular surface $A B C D$ lying in the $x-y$ plane with its center at the origin is $\frac{\lambda L }{ n \varepsilon_0}\left(\varepsilon_0=\right.$ permittivity of free space $)$, then the value of $n$ is

A cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces $x =0, x = a , y =0, y = a , z =0, z = a$. The electric field in the region is given by $\overrightarrow{ E }= E _0 \times \hat{ i }$. Where $E _0=4 \times 10^4 NC ^{-1} m ^{-1}$. If $a =2 cm$, the charge contained in the cubical volume is $Q \times 10^{-14} C$. The value of $Q$ is $...........$
