A long cylindrical shell carries positive surface charge σ in the upper half and negative surface charge –σ in the lower half. The electric field lines around the cylinder will look like figure given in :(figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
and is not possible since field lines should originate from positive and terminate to negative charge.
is not possible since field lines must be smooth.
