An infinity long uniform line charge distribution of charge per unit length λ lies parallel to the y-axis in the y−z plane at z = root 3 / 2 a (see figure). If the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the rectangular surface ABCD lying in the x−y plane with its centre at the origin is λL/nε0 ( ε0 = permittivity of free space), then the value of n is
