Answer #1

a) the electric flux through a Gaussian sphere centered at charge is given by

Where, is electric flux, q is magnitude of charge, is permittivity of vacuum=8.85*10^-12

Since it is independent of radius of Gaussian surface, the electric flux will remain unchanged on change of radius of Gaussian sphere

b)

q==8.85*10^-12*-996=-8.81*10^-9=-8.81 nC
