Q.

Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.           

Assertion A: If an electric dipole of dipole moment 30×10-5 Cm 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:                [2023]

1 Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A  
2 A is true but R is false  
3 Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A  
4 A is false but R is true  

Ans.

(1)

P=30×10-5 Cm

Using Gauss law

ϕ=Qinε0 and Qin=0  ϕ=0
