Step 1
Electric flux through a surface is given by the formula Φ = Q_enc/ε₀, where Φ is the electric flux, Q_enc is the net charge enclosed by the surface, and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (approximately 8.85 x 10^-12 C²/N·m²). Show more…

Find the net electric flux through the spherical closed surface shown in the figure below. The two charges on the right are inside the spherical surface. (Take q1 = +2.12 nC, q2 = +1.04 nC, and q3 = -3.18 nC.)

Find the net electric flux through the spherical closed surface shown in Figure P 24.6. The two charges on the right are inside the spherical surface.
Consider a spherical Gaussian surface and three charges: $q_{1}=1.61 \mu \mathrm{C}, q_{2}=-2.62 \mu \mathrm{C},$ and $q_{3}=3.91 \mu \mathrm{C} .$ Find the electric flux through the Gaussian surface if it completely encloses (a) only charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2},$ (b) only charges $q_{2}$ and $q_{3}$, and $(\mathrm{c})$ all three charges. (d) Suppose a fourth charge, $Q$, is added to the situation described in part (c). Find the sign and magnitude of Q required to give zero electric flux through the surface.
