It is not convenient to use a spherical Gaussian surface to find the electric field due to an electric dipole using Gauss’s theorem because

  • A

    Gauss’s law fails in this case

  • B

    This problem does not have spherical symmetry

  • C

    Coulomb’s law is more fundamental than Gauss’s law

  • D

    Spherical Gaussian surface will alter the dipole moment

The circular wire in figure below encircles solenoid in which the magnetic flux is increasing at a constant rate out of the plane of the page. The clockwise emf around the circular loop is $\varepsilon_{0}$. By definition a voltammeter measures the voltage difference between the two points given by $V_{b}-V_{a}=-\int \limits_{a}^{b} E \cdot d s$ We assume that $a$ and $b$ are infinitesimally close to each other. The values of $V_{b}-V_{a}$ along the path $1$ and $V_{a}-V_{b}$ along the path $2$ , respectively are
