Question

An electric dipole consisting of charge 5 micro coulomb and - 5 micro coulomb and of length 10cm. what is the total electric flux through the box?​

Answer 1

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Net electric flux = Zero

◆ Explaination -

For a closed surface, total electric flux is equal to the net charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.

Φ = Q / ε

Net charge enclosed in the box -

Q = q1 + q2

Q = (+5) + (-5)

Q = 0

Thus, electric flux will be -

Φ = 0 / ε

Φ = 0

Therefore, electric flux paasing through the box enclosing the electric dipole will be zero.

Thanks for asking..
