Physics Question on Electric Field
The electric field at a point is
A
always continuous
B
continuous if there is no charge at that point
C
discontinuous if there is a charge at that point
D
both (b) and (c) are correct
Answer
both (b) and (c) are correct
Explanation
Solution
The electric field at a point is continuous if there is no negative or positive electric charge in its vicinity that affects its pathway. The presence of any charge in the pathway of the electric field makes it discontinuous. So both options (b) and (c) are correct.
