A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 18.0 nC and 35.0 nC , respectively. The total electric flux through the shell is − 218 N ⋅ m 2 / C .

What is the charge on the third object?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Using Gauss's law

So

here   =− 218 N ⋅ m 2 / C ,

put these values in above equation

here So

q3 =-1.93*10-9 -(-18*10-9 ) -35*10-9

q3 = -18.93*10-9 C

  Answer I took q1 = -18 nC
