Question

If a charge +Q is fixed at a distance‘d’ in front of an infinite metal plate, draw the electric lines of force indicating the direction clearly.

Answer 1

Given,

If a charge +Q is fixed at a distance ‘d’ in front of an infinite metal plate.

To find,

Draw the electric lines of force indicating the direction clearly.

before drawing electric lines of force, have a look at properties of these lines of force.

1. electric lines of forces are imaginary lines.
2. The electric lines of force emanate from a positive charge and terminate on a negative charge.
3. The tangent drawn at a point on electric lines of force gives the direction of electric field at that point.
4. two lines of force never cross each other.

from above properties we can draw the electric lines of force easily.

see figure, it is clearly shown electric lines of force emanate from the positive charge +Q and strikes infinite metal plate perpendicularly.
