Answer to Question #276468 in Electric Circuits for Link

Question

Find the electric flux ΦE through a spherical surface of radius R that

contains an electric dipole as shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

electric dipole is a pair of equal & opposite charges

so, charge inside spherical surface is zero

then, by Gauss's law:

for charge inside sphere q_in

flux through a spherical surface:

$\Phi_E=q_{in}/\varepsilon_0=0$
