An electric dipole is put in a north-south direction in a sphere filled with water. Which statements 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
Solution
In an 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 \(=0\)
