Electrostatics Question 520
Question: An electric dipole is put in north-south direction in a sphere filled with water. Which statement is correct [MP PET 1995]
Options:
A) Electric flux is coming towards sphere
B) Electric flux is coming out of sphere
C) Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the sphere are same
D) Water does not permit electric flux to enter into sphere
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In electric dipole, the flux coming out from positive charge is equal to the flux coming in at negative charge i.e. total charge on sphere = 0. From Gauss law, total flux passing through the sphere = 0.
