Use Gauss' law. What does that say?

i see that i completely overlooked the equation of flux = q/Eo (permittivity of free space)...that's the right equation right?

the flux will be 4680.26
correct?

thanks!

That's the right equation alright. The number would be more right it you would specify the units.

 

[fenixbtc]

yes it would be.
thank you
