A dipole lies on the x-axis, with the positive charge `+q` at `x = +d//2` and the negative charge at `x = -d//2`. Find the electric flux `phi_E` through the yz plane midway between the charges.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Net flux though yz plane is `2(q/(2epsilon_0)) = q/epsilon_0`.

So flux depends upon q but is independent of d.
