Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Use . (a) A closed surface encloses a charge of nC. What is the net electric flux out of it? (b) A closed surface surrounds one end of a bar magnet. What is the net magnetic flux out of it? (c) The magnetic flux through a coil falls from Wb to Wb in s, at a steady rate. What is the size of the emf induced?
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The electric flux. Gauss's law gives .
Step 2. The magnetic flux. Gauss's law for magnetism says the net flux out of any closed surface is Wb. A line that leaves the surface near the other end of the magnet must come back into it. Isolated poles do not exist.
Step 3. The emf. .
Answer: V m; Wb; V.
Watch out. The flux in (b) is zero even though the pole is strong. One surface cannot enclose one pole alone.
