Question

An electric dipole is put in north-south direction in a
sphere filled with water. Which statement is correct
(a) Electric flux is coming towards sphere
(b) Electric flux is coming out of sphere
(C) Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the
sphere are same
(d) Water does not permit electric flux to enter into sphere​

Answer 1

Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the  sphere are same.

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

• In an electric dipole the flux is coming in and out from it at the same time.
• We can say that the amount of flux coming out from positive charge will be equal to the flux entering in the dipole from the negative charge.
• Therefore electric flux leaving the sphere will be equal to the electric flu entering the sphere.
