Question

An electric dipole is put in north-south direction in a sphere filled with water. Which of the following statements is correct? (A) Electric flux is coming towards sphere (B) Electric flux is coming out of sphere (C) Electric flux entering into sphere and leaving the sphere are same (D) Water does not permit electric flux to enter into sphere

In electric dipole, the flux coming out from positive charge is equal to the flux coming in at negative charge ie, total charge on sphere =0 . From Gausss law, total flux passing through the sphere =0 .
