Which one of the following statement regarding electrostatics is wrong ?a)Charge is quantizedb)Charge is conservedc)There is an electric field near an isolated charge at restd)A stationary charge produces both electric and magnetic fieldsCorrect answer is 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Explanation:

Electrostatics is the study of electric charges at rest. It deals with the electric forces between charges, the electric field and potential, and the distribution of charges on conductors.

a) Charge is quantized:
The charge on a body or a particle is always a multiple of the elementary charge (1.6 × 10^-19 C). This means that charge is quantized, and we cannot have a fraction of an elementary charge. This is known as the law of conservation of charge.

b) Charge is conserved:
The total charge in a closed system is always conserved. This means that the net charge of a system cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred from one object to another.

c) There is an electric field near an isolated charge at rest:
An isolated charged object creates an electric field around it. This electric field is a vector field that exerts a force on other charged objects in the vicinity of the charged object. The electric field is proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the distance from the charged object.

d) A stationary charge produces both electric and magnetic fields:
This statement is incorrect. A stationary charge produces only an electric field, not a magnetic field. However, a moving charge produces both electric and magnetic fields.

Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is (d), which is wrong.

Answer

A stationary charge doesn't produce a magnetic field , it only produce a electric field .So answer is D .

Answer

A stationary charge produces only electric field wheras a moving charge produces both electric and magnetic field (due to changing electric field).

Answer

A stationary charge doesn't produce a magnetic field , it only produces an electric field.

Answer

D)
A stationary charge does not produce magnetic fields and electric field
