A point charge q1 is at the center of a sphere of radius 20 cm. Another point charge q2 = 10 nC is located at a distance r = 10 cm from the center of the sphere. If the net flux through the surface of the sphere is 800 N. m2/C, find q1.

q₁  = -2.92 nC

Explanation:

Given;

first point charge, q₁ = ?

second point charge, q₂ = 10 nC

net flux through the surface of the sphere, Φ =  800 N.m²/C

According to Gauss’s law, the flux through any closed surface (Gaussian surface), is equal to the net charge enclosed divided by the permittivity of free space.

where;

Φ is net flux

net charge enclosed

ε₀ is permittivity of free space.

= Φε₀

       = 800 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

       = 7.08 x 10⁻⁹ C

= 7.08 nC

q₁ + q₂ =

q₁ = - q₂

q₁  = 7.08nC -  10 nC

q₁  = -2.92 nC

i don't know that i agree with that but what's the question ?

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !
