An electric dipole is surrounded by a closed surface with the surface nearer to the negative end of the dipole than the positive end. The flux through the surface is (answer with explanation, please)

Step 1
Step 1: Recall Gauss's Law, which states that the total electric flux **Φ_E** through a closed surface is equal to the net charge **Q_enclosed** enclosed by the surface divided by the electric constant **ε₀**: \[ \Phi_E = Show more…

Dipole. A dipole is located on a sheet of paper. (a) In the plane of that paper, carefully sketch the electric field lines for this dipole. (b) Use your field lines in part (a) to sketch the equipotential curves where the equipotential surfaces intersect the paper.
