Question

sapling leaming The top left diagram below shows a 1-C positive ch electric field in which the charge is placed is represented by field lines (drawn in red), and the resulting electric force on the charge is represented by the blue vecfor. Suppose the 1-C charge is removed, and is replaced, in turn, by each of the charges shown in the other three diagrams below. Assuming that the external electric field remains the same, draw force vectors on each of the other charges to indicate both the magritude and direction of the electric force on the charge. (Saroll down for two more diagrams.) in a uniform external electric field. The O Previous ® Give Up & View Solution Check Answer 'O Next E Hint

Explanation / Answer

For the charge -1C the direction of the electric force is in the oppositive direction of the electric field.

The magnitude of the force is the same as the charge +1C (F)

For the charge -2C the direction of the electric force is in the oppositive direction of the electric field.

The magnitude of the force is 2F

For the charge +3C the direction of the electric force is in the same direction of the electric field.

The magnitude of the force is 3F
