Q 12-01-084JEE MainJEE Main 2023 (12 Apr, Shift 1)Easy
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 $30\times10^{-5}$ 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.
Answer: (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
A dipole's charges are $+q$ and $-q$, so the net enclosed charge is zero and by Gauss's law the net flux is zero. R explains A.
