The Electric field at a point is

A

always continous

B

continous if there is no charge at that point

C

discontinous only if there is a negative charge at that point

D

discontinous if there is a charge at that point

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D

From the genral knowledge of theory, electric field at a point is continous If there is no charge at that point. And the field is dicontinous if there is charge at that point. Choices (b) and (d) are correct.
