Question
Multiple-Choice Homework Problem 5.2 The figure below shows a finite linear charge with constant linear charge density. Select the figure where the field could represent the field of the charge based on symmetry considerations. None of the fields are actually the field of the charge distribution.
Multiple-Choice Homework Problem 5.3 The figures below show two concentric spherical shells. The inner shell has total charge ?Q and the outer shell +Q. Select the figure that correctly represents the electric field of the system.
Figure (a) Figure (b) linearcharge linean charg Figure (c) Figure (d) linear charge linear chargeExplanation / Answer
a)Figure C is correct bcoz electric field due to this linear charge is either left or right but will never cross the body(linear charge), so option (a) and(b) are incorrect.Also electric field lines dont have sharp turns so option (d) is incorrect.
b)electric field lines are always from positive(outer shell) to negative charge(inner shell).so option (b) is correct.
option (A) is incorrect because no electric field exist inside shell.
option (C) is incorrect because no electric field is there.
option (E) is incorrect because no electric field exist inside shell.
option (F) is incorrect because no electric field exist from negative to positive
