Question
1. Imagine an isolated positive point charge Q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). There is a charged particle A (whose charge is much smaller than charge Q) at a distance from the point charge Q. On which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge Q at particle A's position depend? Check ALL that apply.
the type of the charge on the charged particle A
the relative orientation between Q and A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the specific location of the charged particle A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the amount of the charge on the point charge Q
the specific location of the point charge Q (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the distance between the point charge Q and the charged particle A
the amount of the charge on the charged particle A
the type of the charge on the charged particle A
the relative orientation between Q and A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the specific location of the charged particle A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the amount of the charge on the point charge Q
the specific location of the point charge Q (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
the distance between the point charge Q and the charged particle A
the amount of the charge on the charged particle A
Explanation / Answer
E = kQ/r^2
Magnitude will depend only on the distance between Q and A
And amount of charge on Q
Option 4 and 6
