प्रश्न
An arbitrary surface encloses a dipole. What is the electric flux through this surface?
उत्तर
According to Gauss' law, the electric flux through an enclosed surface is given by `oint_s vecE * dvecS = q_(enclosed)/ε_0`.
The net charge on a dipole is given by –q + q = 0, hence `q_(enclosed)` = 0
Hence the electric flux through a surface enclosing a dipole = `(-q + q)/ε_0 = q/ε_0` = 0

Which of the following statements is correct?
In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep = – (1 + y)e where e is the electronic charge.
- Find the critical value of y such that expansion may start.
- Show that the velocity of expansion is proportional to the distance from the centre.
A charge Q is placed at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through one of its faces is ______.
