electrostatics dipole
If we make gaussian surface around a dipole, net charge inside the surface will be zero so electric field should be zero, but dipole has an electric field.....

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Yes you are correct but
The thing is that there is no symmetry in Electric dipole
At every other point the field is different although the net flux would come out to be zero when you would consider a closed surface
The net flux would come out to br zero but we can not comment on electric field about any gaussian surface
Because there is no symmetry in the the field as in the case of point charge or a straight conductor
Yes you can make a rectangular Gaussian surface and see at equatorial level region E=0 and the other two faces will have opposite flux so net flux would eventually become 0
the net elec field integral would be zero not the elec field itself
Ohhh
I get it thx
I don't get it, how is it not symmetrical
Just look at the formula of electric field at some point theta
How is it symmetrical
we good?
