For using a multimeter to identify diode from electrical compounds, choose the correct statement out of the following about the diode:

Option 1 - <p>It is two terminal device which conducts current in both directions.</p>
Option 2 - <p>It is two terminal device which conducts current in one direction only.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 3 - <p>It does not conduct current gives an initial deflection which decays to zero.</p>
Option 4 - <p>It is three terminal device which conducts current in one direction only between. central terminal and either of the remaining two terminals</p>

Not really. The electric dipole moment vector directs or points from the negative charge to the positive charge. But the electric field lines that a dipole creates will point away from the positive and move to the negative charge.

Yes, the cube, which is a closed surface containing only one electric dipole will make electric flux zero. This follows Gauss's Law when the total charge inside it is zero. The field lines entering the surface will exit, and that would result in zero net flux.

The magnitude of each charge and the distance that separates them. 

Gauss Law is only concerned with the total enclosed charge that finally tells us the total flux. The charges outside may change field patterns. They not affect the total flux. It's actually incorrect to assume the field due to the external charges should also affect the flux through the Gaussian sur

Gauss Law does not directly give the electric field in all cases. It can only be used in calculations for symmetrical surfaces: spherical, cylindrical, or planar.
