Question

why electric flux due to an atom is zero?​

Answer 1

In electrostatics free charges in a good conductor reside only on the surface. So the free charge inside the conductor is zero. So the field in it is caused by charges on the surface. Since charges are of the same nature and distribution is UNIFORM, the electric fields cancel each other.

Explanation:

8 Answers. It is said that atomswith the same number of electrons as protons are electrically neutral, so they have no net charge or netelectric field.
