Electric Flux Through an Area

A Thin Spherical Shell

2. A thin spherical shell of radius x₁ cm has x₂ µC of charge uniformly distributed over its surface. What is the electric flux through an area of x₃ m² of a spherical surface concentric with the shell of charge but having a radius of x₄ m?

x₁, x₂, x₃, and x₄ are some numbers.
Answer: 8.99∙10⁴∙ x₂ ∙ x₃ / x₄² N∙m²/C
