1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

A thin conducting ring of radius $R$ is given a charge $+Q.$ The electric field at the centre $O$ of the ring due to the charge on the part $AKB$ of the ring is $E.$ The electric field at the centre due to the charge on the part $ACDB$ of the ring is 

A

$E$ along $KO$ 

B

$3E$ along $OK $ 

C

$3E$ along $KO$ 

D

$E$ along $OK$

(AIPMT-2008)

Solution

The fields at $O$ due to $AC$ and $BD$ cancel each other.

The field due to $CD$ is acting in the direction $OK$ and equal in magnitude  to $E$ due to $AKB$.
