JEE Main 2023 — Electrostatics Question with Solution
JEE Main 2023 (12 Apr Shift 1)
Question
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 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.

Step-by-step explanation
An electric dipole contains two equal and opposite charges.
Thus, the net charge, as viewed from outside a surface enclosing the dipole, is zero.
The net flux enclosed by any closed surface is, then, given by
