Question

58.5 million excess electrons are inside a closed surface. What is the net electric flux through the surface?

I know that flux is Qinside/E0 (where E0 is a constant). I got -1.058*10^-22, but web assign is saying that's wrong. I know its some simple thing like an orders of magnitude error, but I'm confused on what I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

what value of Eo are u using?

Answer 2

I am using 8.85e10

Answer 3

check the value of E0.i think its wrong..

Answer 4

\[\epsilon_0=8.85x10^{-12}\]

Answer 5

\[ \epsilon_0 =8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac {\text{F}}{\text m}\]

Answer 6

blah :P

Answer 7

the units are very important, this is physics
