Question

A sphere encloses an electric dipole within it. The total flux across the sphere is
  1. zero
  2. half that due to a single charge
  3. double that due to a single charge
  4. dependent on the position of dipole

A
zero
B
double that due to a single charge
C
dependent on the position of dipole
D
half that due to a single charge
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The total electric flux coming out of the sphere is zero because the net charge enclosed by the surface is zero

Figure shows a charge array known as an electric quadrupole. For a point on the axis of the quadrupole, obtain the dependence of potential on r for r/a >> 1, and contrast your results with that due to an electric dipole, and an electric monopole (i.e., a single charge).
