Question

It is not convenient to use a spherical gaussian surface to find the electric field due to an electric dipole using gauss's theorem because

Answer 1

Answer:

Because this problem does not have spherical symmetry.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alteration of Dipole Movement

Explanation:

The use of a spherical gaussian surface to find the electric field lines due to an electric dipole using the gaussian theorem is not advisable because the Gaussian theorem fails here. After all, the spherical symmetry alters the complete movement of electric dipole movement and the use of the Gaussian theorem in finding the electric field lines is possible where there is approximate symmetry or the surface is perfectly symmetrical.
