Question

Which charge configuration produces a uniform electric field?

• A. Point charge
• B. Infinite uniform line charge
• C. uniformly charged infinite plane
• D. uniformly charged spherical shell

Answer 1

The correct option is C

uniformly charged infinite plane

The explanation for the correct option:

In the case of option C (uniformly charged infinite plane):

1. A uniform electric field is one in which the field strength remains constant at all points.
2. The field strength does not change in a uniform electric field, and the field lines tend to be parallel and equidistant to each other.
3. They are evenly separated.
4. A uniformly charged infinite plane produces a uniform electric field.

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
