Electrostatics Question 738

Question: shows a uniformly charged hemisphere of radius R. It has a volume charge density ρ. If the electric field at a point 2R, above its center is E, then what is the electric field at the point 2R below its center?

Options:

A) ρR/6ε0+E

B) ρR/12ε0E

C) ρR/6ε0+E

D) ρR/12ε0+E

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Let us complete the sphere.

Electric field due to upper part at B = E (given) Electric field B = electric field due to fall sphere electric field due to upper part at B=electric field due to full sphere -electric field due to upper part

=kQ(2R)2E

=14πε0ρ(4/3)πR34R2E

=ρR12ε0E
