Question

Consider the 5 arrangement of charges below. (Electric Field Hockey Simulation) Which of the following statements is true? In this question, you are being asked what will the PUCK (with the negative charge) experience as a result of the "Nailed down" charges on either side of the PUCK.

1) All of the pucks feel a force to the right.

2) The puck in C feels a greater force to the right than the puck in D.

3) The puck in E feels a force to the right that is four times greater than that felt by the puck in B.

4) The net force on the puck in A is zero.

5) The puck in E feels a force to the right that is four times greater than that felt by the puck in D.

Explanation / Answer

1) true

because, repulsive force due to blue charge is towards right

and attractive force due to pink charge is also towards right

2) false

because, net force due to pink and blue charge on C is less

3) true

F=k*q1*q2/r^2

4) true

the forces due to blue and pink are in opposite direction

5) false

the distance between Puck and two charges is not same
