Answer

$\phi=3.62\frac{N.m^2}{C}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $\rho=\frac{q}{V}$ This can be rearranged as: $q=\rho V$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $q=(500\times 10^{-9})(0.0400)=3.20\times 10^{-11}C$ Now according to Gauss's law $\phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{\circ}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\phi=\frac{3.20\times 10^{-11}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}=3.62\frac{N.m^2}{C}$
