Answer

a. $-1.1\times10^5 N \cdot m^2/C$ b. 0

Work Step by Step

a. Use Gauss’s law to find the flux . $$\Phi_E=\frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_o}$$ $$\Phi_E=\frac{-1.0\times10^{-6}C}{8.85\times10^{-12}C^2/(N \cdot m^2)}$$ $$=-1.1\times10^5 N \cdot m^2/C$$ b. There is no enclosed charge so the flux is zero.
