total flux φ_(tot) = ρ(πa^2 x)/ε_0   field at r=x be E, then  ε_0 E(2πrl)=ρ(πr^2 l)  ⇒   E=((ρr)/(2ε_0 ))  flux through flat circular area  of small cylinder at r=x is     φ_(flat circular)   =E(πa^2 ) = ((ρx)/(2ε_0 ))(πa^2 )  φ_(curved surface) =φ_(tot) −φ_(flat circular)            = ((ρx)/ε_0 )(πa^2 )−((ρx)/(2ε_0 ))(πa^2 )  ⇒    𝛗_(curved)  = ((ρx)/(2ε_0 ))(πa^2 ) .
