Eight dipoles of charges of magnitude are placed inside a cube. The total electric flux coming out of the cube will be:
zero
According to Gauss's Law, the total electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed divided by (). An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges ( and ) separated by a small distance, so the net charge of a single dipole is zero (). Since there are eight dipoles inside the cube, the total enclosed charge is . Consequently, the total electric flux coming out of the cube is zero.
