Answer 1

Solution::

φ = Q /ξ0
a) No charge is enclosed. φ = 0

b) Charge enclosed = -5.50 nC
φ = Q /ξ0 = -5.50 x 10^-9 / 8.854 x 10^-12
= - 621.188 Cm/F
Negative sign indicate flux enters the surface.

c) Charge enclosed = [3.95 -5.50] nC

φ = Q /ξ0 = - 1.55 x 10^-9 / 8.854 x 10^-12
= -175.06 Cm/F
