Q. A Gaussian sphere encloses an electric dipole within it. The total flux across the sphere is
A) Zero
B) Half that due to a single charge
C) Double that due to a single charge
D) Dependent on the position of the dipole
Explanation
(a) Total electric flux through enclosed surface
$\phi = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}\left( \frac{- q}{\varepsilon_{0}} \right) = 0$
