Question
A spherical surface encloses charges of 2 µC, 4 µC, -3 µC, and -5 µC. Using Gauss's Law as presented in the document, what is the net electric flux (ψ) out of the surface?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
According to Gauss's Law, ψ = (∑qᵢ) / ε₀. The net charge enclosed is (2 + 4 - 3 - 5) µC = -2 µC. Therefore, ψ = (-2 µC) / ε₀. The document provides a similar example calculation (page 13, 'Example' section).
Hint
Sum all the enclosed charges to find the net charge before applying Gauss's Law.
