Question

Electric field at a distance ‘r’ from an infinitely long uniformly charged straight conductor, having linear charge density λ is E1. Another uniformly charged conductor having same linear charge density λ is bent into a semicircle of radius ‘r’. The electric field at its centre is E2 . Then

• A. $E_2=\frac{E_1}{r}$
• B. E1 = E2
• C. E1 = πrE2
• D. E2 = πrE1

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

E1 = E2

Answer 2

The correct answer is (B) : E1 = E2.
