Question

An electric dipole of dipole moment 60 × 10–6 C m is enclosed by a closed surface. The net electric flux through the surface is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

From gaussion law, flux is given by, ϕ =  ​ qinc / ε0

​ and we know that a dipole has both −ve as well as +ve charge of equal magnitude.

this implies that the total enclosed charge is given by,

​ qinc = 0

∴ Ф = 0 / ∈0 = 0

∴ There will be no flux through the surface ( or )  Net electric flux coming out of closed surface is zero
