Q48 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2014 (Paper 1) · Physics

Let E1r, E2r and E3r be the respective electric fields at a distance r from a point charge Q, an infinitely long wire with constant linear charge density λ , and an infinite plane with uniform surface charge density σ . If E1r0=E2r0=E3r0 at a given distance r0 , then

  • A
    Q=4σπr02
  • B
    r0=λ2πσ
  • Correct answer
    C
    E1r02=2E2r02
  • D
    E2r02=4E3r02

Solution

Q4πε0r02=λ2πε0r0=σ2ε0
E1r02=Qπε0r02, E2r02=λπε0r0, E3r02=σ2ε0
E1r02=2E2r02

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
