Question
CBSEENPH12038994

What is the electric flux through a cube of side 1 cm which encloses an electric dipole? 

Solution

Given, cube encloses an electric dipole.

So, the total charge enclosed by the cube is zero.
That is, Q= 0.

Now, using the formula for electric flux as per the Gauss’s law of electrostatics, we have
ϕ subscript E space equals space contour integral E. d s space equals space Q over epsilon subscript o

ϕ subscript E space equals 0
