`q_(in) = 0` (net charge enclosed by the spherical surface)

B

`phi_(net) = 0` (net flux coming out the spherical surface)

C

`E = 0 ` at all points on the spherical surface.

D

`int vecE * d vecs` = 0 (surface integral of over the spherical surface)

Text Solution

A, B, D
(a). Net charge of dipole is zero.
b. `phi_( n et) = (q_(in))/(epsilon_(0)) = 0`
c. Electrical field is nowhere zero due to a dipole.
d. `int vec(E ) . Vec(d) s = phi _(n et) = 0`
