Question

A sphere encloses an electric dipole with charges ± 3 x 10^-6 C. What is the total electric flux across the sphere?

Options

• 6 x 10^-6 Nm² /C

• - 3 x 10^-6 Nm² /C

• Zero

• 3 x 10^-6 Nm² /C

Answer 1

Zero

Explanation:

`"Electric flux,"  phi = ("q"_"enclosed")/epsilon_0`

As, the net charge on dipole is zero, the net flux across the sphere is also zero.
