A few spherical equipotential surfaces are shown in the figure. The electric field at any point, at a distance x from the centre, is
Options
- A6 x 2 perpendicular to the plane of paper
- B600 x 2 perpendicular to the plane of paper
- C6 x 2 radially
- D600 x 2 radially
Correct answer
C. 6 x 2 radially
Step-by-step solution
V = q 4 π ∈ 0 x ⇒ q = 4 πε 0 Vx = 60 × 0.1 × 4 πε 0 = 24 πε 0 ∴ E = q 4 π ∈ 0 x 2 = 24 π ∈ 0 4 π ∈ 0 x 2 = 6 x 2 Direction of electric field is radially outward.
