A uniform linear charge density of 4.0 nC/m is distributed along the entire x axis. Consider a spherical (radius = 5.0 cm) surface centered on the origin. Determine the electric flux through this surface.
L=2rπ
φ=Q/ε
λ=Q/L
I found the charge by substituting values into Q=λL, then I found the flux, but the answer I get is incorrect, the correct one is 45 N m2/C
