Question 54 pts

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e = 1.60 x 10-19 . Which one of the following statements best describes the electric field at a distance r from the electron?

Explanation / Answer

1) as C will repel A towards B and B will repel it towards C,

now Net motion towards B => C repels strongly than B

=> The charge on C is larger than the charge on B

2) The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of ke/r^2
