Question 11

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 $$30 \times 10^{-5}$$ C m 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.

Assertion A: A dipole enclosed by a closed surface gives zero net flux. True — by Gauss's law, net flux = Q_enclosed/ε₀ = 0 (since dipole has zero net charge).

Reason R: Electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges. True — and this directly explains why the net enclosed charge is zero.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
