Diagrams A and B show the electric potential along the x-axis in two different s

Question

Diagrams A and B show the electric potential along the x-axis in two different situations. Answer each of the questions below with True (T), False (F), or Can not tell (C). If, for example, the answer to the first question is True, the answer to the second is Can Not Tell, and the answer to the others is False, enter TCFFFF.

i. A positive charge placed at x = 4 m in Diag. A and released will accelerate right.

ii. The work done by you to bring an HCL molecule from infinity to the point x = 2 m in Diag. A is positive.

iii. The electric potential at x = 2 m in Diag. A is larger than the electric potential at x = 3 m in Diag. B.

iv. The electric field at x = 2 m in Diag. A points to the left.

v. The magnitude of the electric field at x = 2 m in Diag. A is larger than the magnitude of the electric field at x = 4 m in Diag. B.

vi. An electric dipole with its positive charge at y = 0.01 mm and its negative charge at y = -0.01 mm placed at x = 2 m in Diag. A and released will accelerate left.

Explanation / Answer

i. A positive charge placed at x = 4 m in Diag. A and released will accelerate right.

false

ii. The work done by you to bring an HCL molecule from infinity to the point x = 2 m in Diag. A is positive.

True

iii. The electric potential at x = 2 m in Diag. A is larger than the electric potential at x = 3 m in Diag. B.

True

The electric field at x = 2 m in Diag. A points to the left.

false

The magnitude of the electric field at x = 2 m in Diag. A is larger than the magnitude of the electric field at x = 4 m in Diag. B.

False

An electric dipole with its positive charge at y = 0.01 mm and its negative charge at y = -0.01 mm placed at x = 2 m in Diag. A and released will accelerate left.

False
