Question

if a dipole of charge 2 micro coloumb is placed inside a sphere
of radius 2m,what is the net flux linked with the sphere

A K Daya Sir · Accepted Answer

A dipole is made of equal and opposite charges By Gauss law the
net flux through a closed surface is equal to 1/e0 times the total
charge enclosed within the surface The total charge of dipole on
addition gives zero therefore net flux is zero
Flux is the number of lines of force that pass through a given
region of space, lines of force originate from positive charge and
end into negative, you can see equal number of lines entering and
leaving the blue Gaussian sphere therefore overall flux is zero
