Question

The Electric field at a point is

• A. discontinuous only if there is a negative charge at that point.
• B. always continuous.
• C. discontinuous if there is a charge at that point.
• D. continuous if there is no charge at that point

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

continuous if there is no charge at that point

If there is no charge around the electric field, then the field lines will not be attracted. So, the electric field become continuous at that point.



Either positive or negative charges will interact with the lines of electric field, so makes the electric field discontinuous.




Final Answer: $\left(b\right)$ ,$\left(d\right)$
