Electrostatics Question 661
Question: Two semicircular rings lying in the same plane of uniform linear charge density have radii r and 2r. They are joined using two straight uniformly charged wires of linear charge density and length r . The magnitude of electric field at common centre of semi-circular rings is
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] The electric field due to both straight wires shall cancel at common centre O.
The electric field due to larger and smaller semi-circular rings at O be E and E’ respectively.
