Question
An electric dipole is placed inside a closed surface, whose dipole moment is $20 \times 10^{-6}$ coulomb$-$meter. What will be the electric flux emerging out of this surface?

Answer

There are charge of equal magnitude and opposite nature at the ends of the electric dipole.
Therefore, the total charge $q$ inside the closed surface will be zero.Therefore, according to Gauss' theorem, the electric.
Therefore, $ \phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}=0$
$\phi=\text { zero } $
