Question:

The total electric flux, leaving spherical surface of radius 1 cm, and surrounding an electric dipole is

Options:

$\frac{q}{ε_0}$

Zero

$\frac{2q}{ε_0}$

$8πr^2\frac{q}{ε_0}$

Correct Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Electric flux passes as due to +q charge of dipole = $\frac{+q}{4 p e_0}$

Electric flux passes due to – q charge of dipole = $-\frac{q}{4 p e_0}$

Net flux passes due to both the charges = $\frac{q}{4 p e_0}-\frac{q}{4 p e_0}$ = 0
