okay, so would the answer for each section of the problem be the same answer?

i used this equation as the line charge E= q/ 2*pi*Eo*r at least this is the only one that i found, it not labeled in the book. i used 830 for E and .017 for r and solved for q... i got 7.85x10^-10. This isn't right. i was thinking could r be .375- .017 or something of that nature. i only have...

So would i use the electric field equation to find the value of each point, where r is the radius of the sphere plus the distance of each point. then i would find the flux for both and add them together? that the only possible answer i can think about doing! thanks for helping by the way!

HELP! Charge for an electric field The electric field 0.375 {\rm m} from a very long uniform line of charge is 830 {\rm N/C}. How much charge is contained in a section of the line of length 1.70 {\rm cm}? I started doing this problem, and though it was the right approach, but then i...

There are so many ways to use gauss's law. i used the equation \phi = q/ E0 for each point and then added them together to get the total. the total i found for the first part was -2.7 x10^11. But it is wrong. i am not sure if i need to take into account the location of each of the points or not.

A point charge q_1 = 3.40 {\rm nC} is located on the x-axis at x = 1.80 {\rm m}, and a second point charge q_2 = -5.80 {\rm nC} is on the y-axis at y = 1.10 {\rm m} What is the total electric flux due to these two point charges through a spherical surface centered at the origin and with...
