I took a guess at what you were saying, so I ended up getting the problem correctly. May I ask a theoretical/problem solving question for situations like these? Is it always as simple as this problem actually was once I realized I was just misinterpreting the numbers they gave me? Is Gauss Law...

My reasoning was that despite q1 being given an explicit charge, it says that q2=1.1μC represents the net charge, which I interpret as the total charge enclosed by the whole figure. I guess I'm not completely sure how to account for q1? Once I saw that a net charge was given, I assumed that the...

Gauss' Law has been fairly tough for me and I seem to be struggling to analyze situations properly and, specifically, decided on the net charge included in arbitrary symmetrical-shapes used for this law. Specifically, this one includes two spherical shells. Homework Statement A point charge q1...
