alleryA charged body far smaller than the distances involved is treated as a:
APoint charge
BLine charge
CSheet charge
DSolid charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Point charge
1. The size of the body is negligible against the separation.
2. Its whole charge may then be taken at a single spot.
3. So it is treated as a point charge.
