STANDARD Physics Electric Field MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
In the previous question, what will be the electric field at centre O, if the charge from one of the corners (say A) is removed?
A
q / (4πε₀r²) along OA
B
2q / (4πε₀r²) along OB
C
q² / (4πε₀r²) along OC
D
2q / (4πε₀r²) along OA
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Removing one charge breaks the symmetry, resulting in a net electric field directed towards the position of the removed charge.
