Question
Three point charges are located near a spherical Gaussian surface of radius 14.5 cm. One charge (+3Q =12.9 μC) is inside the sphere, and the others (charge +Q =4.3 μC) are a distance 4.83333333333333 cm outside the surface.
What is the total (net) electric flux through the Gaussian surface?
