Answer to Question #118085 in Electricity and Magnetism for A.Ash

Question

cubical gaussian surface has an electric dipole of equal size put opposite signs separated by a distance 1 at its geometric center .The total electric flux of all six faces of the cube is.....?

Answer 1

The total electric flux of all six faces of the cube is zero. The positive charge of the dipole creates its flux, the negative creates its own flux equal in magnitude but with opposite sign. The fluxes cancel each other out.
