A spherical shell sits next to a charge q > 0: 2,70 (a) The net flux through the spherical shell should be zero-explain why. (That is, what formula/rule says this should be true?) (b) Even though the net flux is zero, there is an electric field piercing through the shell (the electric field from q). On the above diagram, show what portion of the sphere has negative flux going through it, and what portion has positive flux. (c) Your answer to part (b) should show that more of the area of the sphere has positive flux. How do you reconcile this with the statement in part (a)?
