Question

The electric field at a point is:

• A. Always continuous
• B. Continuous if there is no charge at that point.
• C. Discontinuous only if there is a negative charge at that point.
• D. Discontinuous if there is a charge at that point.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Continuous if there is no charge at that point.
D Discontinuous if there is a charge at that point.

The electric field in a region is always continuous provided that there is no charge at the point of consideration. If a charge is present at that point, then the field is discontinuous there,

Option $(B,D)$ are correct
