Question
Two charges of magnitudes +4Q and − Q are located at points (a, 0) and (− 3a, 0) respectively. What is the electric flux due to these charges through a sphere of radius ‘2a’ with its centre at the origin?

Solution
Gauss’ theorem states that the electric flux through a closed surface enclosing a charge is equal to `1/epsi_0`times the magnitude of the charge enclosed.
The sphere enclose charge = +4Q.
Thus,`phi = (4Q)/epsi_0`
