Ψ = Q enc = ∫ ∫ ∫ ρr sin θdrdθdφ = ∫ ∫ ∫ − 200 sin θdrdθdφ = ∫ ∫ − 200 sin θdθdφ = ∫ − 400dφ = −800π µC

For r = 4m, we integrate to r = 2 as there is no charge for 2 ≤ r ≤ 4

Ψ = Q enc = ∫ ∫ ∫ ρr sin θdrdθdφ = ∫ ∫ ∫ − 400 sin θdrdθdφ = ∫ ∫ − 400 sin θdθdφ = ∫ − 800dφ = −1600π µC

For r = 500m, we get the same result as r = 4m as the amount of charge within our Gaussian surface has
not changed.
