Given below are two is statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: If an electric dipole of dipole moment 
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.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
As electric dipole is a system of two equal and opposite charges separated by a length.
Net flux is equal to 
time charge stored and the net charge is equal to zero in case of a dipole so flux is also zero.
