The magnitude of electric field `oversetto E` due to a point charge in space around it has a ____________symmetry.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Spherical
The magnitude of electric field ` (E=(q)/(4piin _0r^(2))) ` is same at all point at a distance r from thepoint charge ,so the field is exhibiting spherical symmetry.
