A closed surface encloses nn electric dipoles. The net electric flux through the closed surface is
(\epsilon_0=permittivityoffreespace,q=charge)= permittivity of free space, q = charge)

Options

  1. Anqϵ0\dfrac{nq}{\epsilon_0}
  2. Bnϵ0qn\epsilon_0 q
  3. Cqϵ0\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}
  4. D00

Correct answer

D. 00

Step-by-step solution

An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges, +q+q and −q-q.

The net charge of a single electric dipole is +q−q=0+q - q = 0.

For nn electric dipoles enclosed in a closed surface, the total enclosed charge is Qenclosed=n×0=0Q_{enclosed} = n \times 0 = 0.

According to Gauss's law, the net electric flux through a closed surface is given by Φ=Qenclosedϵ0\Phi = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_0}.

Substituting Qenclosed=0Q_{enclosed} = 0, we get Φ=0\Phi = 0.
