Question

The electric field from two charges in the plane of the paper is represented by the dashed lines and arrows below.

Select the best response for each statement below: (Options: North, South, East, West, > , < , = , True, False)

a.) The force on a (+) test charge at P is directed _____. (N,S,E,W)

b.) The force on a (-) test charge at S is zero. (T/F)

c.) The magnitude of the charge on the left is ______ that on the right. (Greater/Less than or equal to)

d.) The sign of the charge on the left is negative. (T/F)

e.) The force on a (-) test charge at K is directed _______. (N,S,E,W)

f.) The magnitude of the E-field at R is ______ than at M. (Greater/Less than or equal to)

Orientation of East, west , north and south is not given hence I am considerinh Left as east, right as west, top as north and bottom as south.

(a) Force on positive charge is in the direction of field hence towards south . "SOUTH"

(b) Since field is not zero at S hence force wont be zero . 'False"

(d) Since the field is coming out the charge hence it must be positive. 'FALSE'

(e) Force of negative charge is opposite to the direction of field hence towards right i.e. EAST

(f) Since point R is at greater distance than point M hence field will be Less. "LESS'
