A point charge q is placed at the origin. Calculate the electric flux through the open hemispherical surface : (x-a) 2 + y 2 +z 2 =a 2 ,x≥a?

Consider a sphere of radius '2a' cetered at origin.Now flux through them would be 'q/ε'.

Now the hemispherical surface mentioned in the question has 1/8th in area with respect to sphere described above & it is symmetrical about that also.

So flux would be simply q/8ε.
