Question

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

Open in App
Solution

Electric flux is given by 1εo times the total charge enclosed by the surface.
A dipole consist two equal and opposite charge so net charge of the dipole is zero.

For the eight dipole net charge is zero.
Total charge enclosed by the surface is zero and hence flux through the cube is zero.
