Question

The electric field of a point charge possesses which type of symmetry?

पर्याय

• Cylindrical symmetry

• Planar symmetry

• Spherical symmetry

• Axial symmetry

Answer 1

The electric field of a point charge has spherical symmetry. This is because the magnitude of E is the same at all points on a sphere of radius r, and the direction of E is along the radius of the sphere at every point.
