Answer:
Electric charge, q = 323910 C
Explanation:
It is given that,
Net electric flux, [tex]\phi=3.66\times 10^{16}\ Nm^2/C[/tex]
We have to find the total electric charge on the planet. We can find it using Gauss's law. It is as follows :
[tex]\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}[/tex]
where
q is the net electric charge
[tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] is the electric permeability
So, net electric charge is given by :
[tex]q=\phi\times \epsilon_0[/tex]
[tex]q=3.66\times 10^{16}\ Nm^2/C\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m[/tex]
[tex]q=323910\ C[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
