Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and...
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : If an electric dipole of dipole moment is enclosed by a closed surface, the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason R : Electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of above, statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
- ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- BA is false but R is true
- CA is true but R is false
- DBoth A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Step-by-step solution
An electric dipole contains two equal and opposite charges.
Thus, the net charge, as viewed from outside a surface enclosing the dipole, is zero.
The net flux enclosed by any closed surface is, then, given by
