Question

It is not convenient to use a spherical Gaussian surface to find the electric field due to an electric dipole using Gauss' theorem because

• A. Gauss' law fails in this case
• B. this problem does not have spherical symmetry
• C. Coulomb's law is more fundamental than Gauss' law
• D. spherical Gaussian surface will after the dipole moment

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) this problem does not have spherical symmetry
