Question
Find the total flux (in N.m2/C) when two charges q1=15uC and q2=-17uC are placed within a spherical surface of radius 20cm.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Q_enclosed = 15-17 = -2 uC. Phi = Q_enclosed/eps0 = (-2x10-6)/(8.85x10-12) = -2.26x105 N.m2/C. (As in Q3, the sphere's radius doesn't affect the flux - only the enclosed charge matters.)
Hint
Q_enclosed = 15-17 = -2 uC.
