Question

Eight dipoles of equal magnitude are placed inside a cube. The total electric flux coming out of the cube will

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. $0$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$0$

Solution:

The electric flux given by the total charge enclosed by the surface multiplied by $\frac{1}{\epsilon 0}$.

The net charge of the dipole is zero because it consists of two equal and opposite charge. Hence, the net charge of the eight dipoles enclosed inside a cube is zero. Therefore, the total electric flux coming out of the cube will be zero.

Hence, the total electric flux coming out of the cube will be zero
