Question
An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a sphere. Mark the correct answer :
Options
A.The flux of the electric field passing through the sphere is zero
B.The electric field is zero at every point of the the sphere
C.The electric potential is zero is everywhere on the sphere
D.The electric potential is zero on a circle on the surface
Solution
∴ Electric flux depends only on the total charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. Hence [A].
Potential at a distance r =
Total charge of dipole = 0
Potential at a distance r =
Total charge of dipole = 0
