Options:
A) Directly proportional to
B) Directly proportional to
C) Inversely proportional to r
D) Inversely proportional to
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The electric field intensity due to an infinite cylinder of radius R and having charge q per unit length at a distance rir r(r > R) from its axis is inversely proportional to r
