when an electric dipole is placed in any gaussian surface ,is there no electric field?

Open in App

Solution

according to gause law electric field due to any gaussian surface is given by Q/e where Q is charge and e stands for epsilon constant but in the case of dipole net charge = q + (-q) = 0 so electric field is zero.

Q. Assertion :In a given situation of arrangement of charges, an extra charge is placed outside the Gaussian surface. In the Gauss Theorem

\oint \to E . d \to s = \frac{Q_{i n}}{ϵ_{0}}

Q_{i n}

remains same whereas electric field

at the site of the element is changed. Reason: Electric field

at any point o the Gaussian surface is due to inside charge only.
