A hemispherical shell is uniformly charge positively .the electric field at point on a diameter away from the centre is directed

A

perpendicular to the diameter

B

parallel to the diameter

C

at an angle titled towards the diameter

D

at an angle tilted away from the diameter

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

When the point is situted at a point on diameter away from the centre of hemisphere charged uniformly positively, the electric intensity parallel to the diameter cancel out.
