Ok guys, these are just questions from our book(like critical thinking type)...she said to be able to understand these, for the upcoming test. I'm not sure I fully understand them(if at all).
1. If a closed surface surrounds a dipole, the net flux through the surface is zero. True or False?
2. If the net flux through a closed surface is zero, then there can be no charge or charges within that surface. True or False?
I think the equation to find flux is Gauss's Law, which says E=Q(enclosed)/E(knot). With Q being a negative number(dipole), then I'd say the flux can't be zero.
Along with what I just said, then if Q=0, then there can not be any flux within that surface...right?
Thanks guys!

Oh, one more question. Are Equipotential lines vectors? I'm thinking they are, but need to know to figure a question.
