प्रश्न
A point charge is brought inside an electric field. The electric field at a nearby point
(a) will increase if the charge is positive
(b) will decrease if the charge is negative
(c) may increase if the charge is positive
(d) may decrease if the charge is negative
उत्तर
(c) may increase if the charge is positive
(d) may decrease if the charge is negative
Electric field is a vector quantity. The electric field at a point due to a number of point charges is the vector sum of electric field due to individual charges. So, when a positive charge is brought into an electric field, the electric field due to the positive charge is added to the electric field already present. Therefore, the electric field increases.
When a negative charge is brought into an electric field, the electric field due to the negative charge is subtracted from the electric field already present. Therefore, the electric field decreases.
