A box encloses an electrical dipole consisting of charge `5muC` and `-5muC` and of length 10 cm. What is the total electric flux through the box ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since, an electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, the charge on the dipole is zero. Hence, the net electric flux coming ouy of the closed surface of the box or through the box is zero.
