As we have learned

Flux may be Positive Negative or zero -

For closed body.

- wherein

 

  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.

 


Option 1)

            Electric flux is coming towards sphere

Option 2)

Electric flux is coming out of sphere

Option 3)
