A hemisphere is uniformly charged positively. The electric field at a point on a diameter away from the centre is directed

A

perpendicular to the diameter

B

parallel to the diameter

C

at an angle tilted towards the diameter

D

at an angle tilted away from the diameter

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In case of a uniformly positive charged hemisphere, if a point situated at a point on a diameter away from the centre, the electric field should be perpendicular to the diameter. In this case, the component of electric field intensity parallel to the diameter cancel out.
