Define electric field intensity at a point.

Electric field intensity at a point varies as r^(-3) for

STATEMENT -1: Electric field at a point is always inversely proportional to (distance )^2 . STATEMENT -2: Electric field due to a line charge at a point inversely proportional to distance .

STATEMENT-1 : Electric field at a point due to an infinite sheet of uniformly distributed charge is independent of distance between the point from the sheet. STATEMENT-2 : Electric field at a pont due to an uniformly distributed long charged rod is inversity proportional to distance between the point and rod. STATEMENT-3 : Electric field at a point due to an electric dipole is inversely proportional to the cube of distance between point and centre of dipole.

Electric field due to point charge

Assertion: On going away from a point charge or a small electric dipole, electric field decreases at the same rate in both the cases Reason: Electric field is inversly proportional to square of distance from the charge or an electric dipole.

Electric field intensity at a point B due to a point charge Q kept at a point charge Q kept at point A is 24 NC^(-1) , and electric potential at B due to the same charge is 12 JC^(-1) . Calculate the distance AB and magnitude of charge.

Assertion: Electric field intensity at a point due to a positive charge is always opposite in direction to electric field intensity due to negative charge, and it is independent to locațions of charges. Reason: The direction of electric field due to a point charge is away from the positive charge and towards the negative charge along the line joining the point charge and location where the electric field is to be calculated.
