Question

The figure shows the equipotential contours due to three point charges, labelled in volts.
Select T-True, F-False. E.g., if the first is true and the rest false, enter TFFFF.

1- The direction of the electric field at e is along the tangent to the contour.

2- The charge located at (0,0) is less than the charge located at (-5,5).

3- 118.1 J of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from c to d along the contour.

4- The potential at d is greater than the potential at b.

5- Two of the charges are negative and one is positive.

6- A charge released from rest on one of these contours will not move along the contour.

Explanation / Answer

The direction of the E-field at point e is along the tangent to the contour.

False

The charge located at (0,0) is less than the charge located at (-5,5).

False ,it is less than
