Module 2: Continuous Charge Distribution

Question 1

Answer 1

e) None of the above

Question 2

In a charge distribution, we make the approximation that the charge is spread continuously over the distribution. If the charge distribution spread over surfaces, we describe it in terms of surface charge density with unit…

Answer 2

C/m^2

Question 3

The electric field at the center of a ring of uniform negative charge is zero.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Positive charge is uniformly distributed around a semicircle. The electric field that this charge produces at the center of curvature P is in what direction?

Answer 4

the –y-direction.

Question 5

n a charge distribution, we make the approximation that the charge is spread continuously over the distribution. If the charge distribution spread over the surface we describe it in terms of

Answer 5

surface charge density

Question 6

In a charge distribution, we make the approximation that the charge is spread continuously over the distribution. If the charge distribution spread over lines, we describe it in terms of line charge density with unit
