A dipole is kept in a hollow sphere of radius r. the total electric flux leaving the spherical surface is given by

A

`phi=(q)/(Kepsi_(0))`

B

`phi=(2q)/(Kepsi_(0))`

C

`phi=(8pir^(2)q)/(epsi_(0))`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A dipole consists of charges +q and -q
`therefore`net charge due to a dipole is zero
`therefore`Flux coming out of the sphere is zero.
