Question

which of the following best describe the electric field on an infinite line carrying a uniform linear density? the line runs along the x-axix

a) the field points radially outward the origin

b) the field points radially outward from the linear charge. the field lines occupy planes parallel to the y-z axis

c) the field is parallel to the linear charge and points in the positive x direction

d) the field is parallel to the linear charge and points in the negative x direction

e) the field lines are circles concentric with the linear charge

Explanation / Answer

c) the field is parallel to the linear charge and points in the positive x direction
