How to calculate net charge within an object given the flux?

The total electric flux through a closed surface in the shape of a cylinder is 50900 N 路 m^2/C. What is the net charge within the cylinder? Answer in units of 渭C.



Can anybody help me solve this problem and possibly explain the theory behind it? thanksHow to calculate net charge within an object given the flux?
The electric flux is equal to the enclosed charge divided by the electric constant (which is 8.854x10^-12 C^2 per (N*m^2). That's all. Solve for the enclosed charge.
