figure shows the field produced by two point charges +q and -q of equal magnitude but opposite signs (an electric dipole). Find the electric flux through each of the closed surfaces A,B,C, and D.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Flux through closed surface A,
`phi_A = Q_(in)/epsilon_0 = q/epsilon_0`
Flux through closed surface B,
`Q_B = -q/epsilon_0`
Flux through surface C,
`Q_C = (q-q)/epsilon_0 = 0 and Q_D = Q_(in)/epsilon_0 = 0` .
