Explanation / Answer

net flux = Q_enclosed / e0 ( from Gauss law)


1. Q_enclosed _S1 = 0

net flux = 0

2. Q_enclosed = q1 + q2 - q5 = 5.4 uC

net flux = (5.4 x 10^-6) / (8.854 x 10^-12)

= 6.10 x 10^5 N m^2/ C

3. Q_enclosed = q2 + q3 - q6 = 0.1 x 10^-6 C

net flux = 11294 N m^2 / C

4. Q = q1 + q2 - q5 = 5.4 uC


net flux = 6.10 x 10^5 N m^2 / C

5. Q = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 - q5 - q6 = 6.1 uC


flux = 6.89 x 10^5 N m^2 / C
