Positive charges are enclosed by a Gaussian surface in the shape of a cube of length a=3.2m. The charges are distributed in such a way that the electric field lines perpendicular to the faces of the cube. If the electric field at each surface has a magnitude of 5.2N/C, determine the volume charge density ρ (in C/m3) of the cube.
