Final answer:

To calculate the electric flux through a hemisphere, use the formula: Flux = (q / (4πε0))(2πR2), where q is the charge and R is the radius. Plug in the values and simplify to find the flux.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the electric flux through a hemisphere, we can use the formula:

Flux = (q / (4πε0))(2πR2)

where q is the charge and R is the radius of the hemisphere.

Plugging in the values:

Flux = ((-7.00 × 10-9 C) / (4π(8.85 × 10-12 C2/N·m2)))(2π(0.100 m)2)

Simplifying gives:

Flux = -0.028 N·m2/C.
