A long cylindrical shell carries positive surface charge `sigma` in the upper half and negative surface charge `-sigma` in the lower half. The electric field lines around the cylinder will look like figure given in:(figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because electric field lines corne out of the positive charge and go into the negative charge. And field lines are always normal to conducting surface.
