Some planetary scientists have suggested that the planet mars has an electric field somewhat similar to that of the earth, producing a net electric flux of 3.66×1016 n⋅m2/c into the planet's surface. part a calculate the total electric charge on the planet.

Electric charge, q = 323910 C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Net electric flux,

We have to find the total electric charge on the planet. We can find it using Gauss's law. It is as follows :

where

q is the net electric charge

is the electric permeability

So, net electric charge is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.
