Question

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

• A. $\frac{8e}{{\epsilon }_0}$
• B. $\frac{e}{{\epsilon }_0}$
• C. $\frac{16e}{{\epsilon }_0}$
• D. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is D

0

1. Since the dipole is made up of two equal and opposite charges, its net charge is zero.
2. Due to this, the net charge of the eight dipoles contained within a cube is zero.
3. As a result, the total electric flux emitted by the cube will be zero.

Hence, Option(D) is correct.
