(choose chapter or problem)

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 \(-3.63 \times 10^{16} \ \mathrm N \cdot \mathrm m^2/\mathrm C\) at the planet’s surface. Calculate: (a) the total electric charge on the planet; (b) the electric field at the planet’s surface (refer to the astronomical data inside the back cover); (c) the charge density on Mars, assuming all the charge is uniformly distributed over the planet’s surface.
