Q. A hemisphere is uniformly charged positively. The electric field at a point on a diameter away from the centre is directed

AIIMSAIIMS 2015Electric Charges and Fields

Solution:

When the point is on the diameter and away from the centre of hemisphere which is charged uniformly and positively, the component of electric field intensity parallel to the diameter cancel out. So the electric field is perpendicular to the diameter.
