Assertion: Gauss's law can't be used to calculate electric field near an electric dipole. Reason: Electric dipole don't have symmetrical charge distribution.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Gauss's law is applicable for any closed surface. Gauss's law is most useful in situation where the charge distribution has spherical or cylindrical symmetry or is distributed uniformly over the plane. Whereas electric dipole is a system of two equal and opposite point charges separated by a very small and finite distance.
