Homework Statement


The following charges are located inside a submarine: 2.00 µC, -9.00 µC, 27.0 µC, and -54.0 µC.
(a) Calculate the net electric flux through the hull of the submarine.


Homework Equations


Flux = q/e0


The Attempt at a Solution


I found the net charge, which happens to be -34e-6. So, I plugged the numbers into the equation and I keep getting the wrong answer. My answer was 3841807.91 N*m^2/C.
I am running out of ideas
