The total charge of an electric dipole is (Where 'q' is the point charge on either side of the dipole and 'e' is the charge of an electron)

  1. A \( 2e \)
  2. B \( -2q \)
  3. C \( 2q \)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite point charges ( \(+q\) and \(-q\) ) separated by a small distance. Because these charges are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, their algebraic sum-the total net charge-is always zero. D) Zero
