    A Gaussian sphere encloses an electric dipole within it. The total flux across the sphere is

    A) zero

    B) half that due to a single charge

    C) double that due to a single charge

    D) dependent on the position of the dipole

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Total electric flux through enclosed surface \[\phi =\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}+\left( \frac{-q}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}} \right)=0\] Note As Gaussian surface is not a enclosed surface, hence, the question should have been 'an enclosed surface' and not a Gaussian surface.
