Question

In a type of charge configuration electric field at a point due to it is

i) independent of distance from the point

ii) inversely proportional to the distance from the point

iii) inversely proportional to the square of distance from the point

iv) inversely proportional to the cube of distance from the point

Identify the type of charge configuration in each case.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

inversely proportional to the cube distance form free

Answer 2

The correct option is, iv) inversely proportional to the cube of  distance form the point.

What is the electric field and how is it defined?

• The electric field is the amount of electric force per charge and the electric force on a charge at some point in space is the amount of charge times the electric field at that point in space.
• So recapping, electric charges create electric fields.

What is the electric field at a point due to a system of charges?

Electric field at a point due to it is:

i) independent of distance from the point.

ii) inversely proportional to the distance from the point.

iii) inversely proportional to the square of distance from the point.

iv) inversely proportional to the cube of distance from the point.

• The electric field at a point due to a system of charges is the vector sum of the electric fields at the point due to individual charges.

Hence, electric field at a point due inversely proportional to the cube of distance from the point.
