What is continuous charge distribution?

Open in App

Solution

In a continuous charge distribution, all the charges are closely bound together i.e. having very less space between them. But this closely bound system doesn’t mean that the electric charge is uninterrupted. It clears that the distribution of separate charges is continuous, having a minor space between them.

Types of continuous charged distributions:
1. Linear Charge Distribution
2. Surface Charge Distribution
3. Volume Distribution of charge
