A cubical Gaussian surface surrounds two positive charges, each has a charge q 1 1 = + 3.90 × 10 − 12 3.90×10−12 C, and three ne
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The electric flux is zero because charge is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Positive charge q_{1}=3.90\times10^{-12}\ C

Negative charge q_{2}=-2.60\times10^{-12}\ C

We need to calculate the total charged

Using formula of charge

Q_{enc}=2q_{1}+3q_{2}

Put the value into the formula

Q_{enc}=2\times3.90\times10^{-12}+3\times(-2.60\times10^{-12})

Q_{enc}=0

We need to calculate the electric flux

Using formula of electric flux

\phi=\dfrac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_{0}}

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\dfrac{0}{8.85\times10^{-12}}

Hence, The electric flux is zero because charge is zero.

Adaptive radiation is demonstrated by ____
Vlad1618 [11]

X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.
