12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank MCQ - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    If the charge on an object is doubled, then electric field becomes:                       

    A) half

    B) double

    C) unchanged

    D) thrice

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) double, As \[E=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{q}{{{r}^{2}}}\] If \[q'=2q\], then \[E'=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{2q}{{{r}^{2}}}\] or \[E'=2E\] So, electric field is doubled.
