An electric dipole is put in north-south direction in a sphere filled with water. Which statement is correct
Electric flux is coming towards sphere
Electric flux is coming out of sphere
Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the sphere are same
Water does not permit electric flux to enter into sphere
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)
Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the sphere are same
Option 4)
Water does not permit electric flux to enter into sphere
