The known values are given as follows:

  • point charge at the origin: q1=8.20 nCq_1 = 8.20 \text{ nC}
  • second point charge: q2=5.00 nCq_2 =- 5.00 \text{ nC}
  • location of second point charge: x=2.75 mx=2.75\text{ m}
  • radius of sphere: r1=1.00 mr_1 =1.00\text{ m}
  • radius of sphere: r2=2.00 mr_2 =2.00\text{ m}

In this exercise, we are asked to calculate the electric flux through the sphere with a predetermined radii.
