An electric dipole is placed on x – axis in proximity to a line charged of linear density 3.0 * 10^-6 C/m. Line charge is placed on z – axis and positive and negative charge of dipole is at a distance of 10 mm and 12 mm from the origin respectively. If total force of 4N is exerted on the dipole, find out the amount of positive charge of the dipole.

The following are the topics covered in this chapter: Electric Field and Field Lines, Gauss's Law, Electric Dipole, Conductors and Insulators, and Electric Flux. 

Indeed, it is an easy chapter of Class 12 Physics. In this chapter, you will learn about the foundational concepts like Gauss's law and electric fields.

Flux through the 6 sides of square (i.e. cube)

${?}_T=\frac{q_{in}}{{\epsilon }_0}=\frac{12\times 10^{-6}C}{{\epsilon }_0}$   

Flux through a square

$?=\frac{{?}_T}{6}=\frac{12\times 10^{-6}}{{\epsilon }_0\times 6}=\frac{2\times 10^{-6}}{{\epsilon }_0}$

$\Rightarrow ?=225.98\times 10^{3}N{m}^2/C?226N{m}^2/C$     

In the medical entrance test NEET, this chapter has a moderate weightage. You can expect around 2-3 questions of this chapter that contributes to the 3-5% of the total marks in the Physics section.

From Guass’s Law

${\displaystyle ?\overrightarrow{E}.\overrightarrow{dA}=\frac{q_{in}}{{\in }_0}}$            

$E.4\pi r^2=\frac{{\displaystyle \underset{0}{\overset{r}{\int }}\left(4\pi r^2.dr\right)\left(\alpha r\right)}}{{\in }_0}$            

$E=\left(\frac{\alpha r^2}{4{\in }_0}\right)$
