Four different configurations show charge distributions and closed Gaussian surfaces. Assume that the surface normals are directed outward for each closed surface. If a charge appears to be located within a Gaussian surface, then it is, as opposed to being in the foreground or the background. The charges have the following values: q1= -22.6 nC q2= +32.7 nC q3= +3.58 nC q4= -3.29 nC q5= +5.41 nC Part (a) What is the total electric flux, in newtons squared meters per coulomb, through the closed surface shown in drawing (a) of the figure?

Two charged spheres on a frictionless horizontal surface are attached to opposite ends of a string & are in static equilibrium. The 39 kg red sphere has more charge than the 22 kg green sphere. The total charge magnitude on the spheres is 120 ?C & they have the same polarity. As a result the tension is 202.5 N & the centers of the spheres are 0.39 m apart. Find the charge magnitude on each sphere. Qred (bigger charge) = Qgreen (smaller charge) =
