Question
Consider the arrangement of two fixed point charges, equal in magnitude, shown in the figure. Which of the following statements are correct for the initial motion of a third charge if it is released from rest in the vicinity of the two charges shown?
A negative charge at point e will accelerate up.
True False A positive charge at point d will accelerate up.
True False A positive charge at point a will accelerate toward the lower-left.
True False A negative charge at point b will accelerate down.
True False A positive charge at point c will accelerate toward the lower-left.
Please Help! Thank you so much in advance! I can't seem to get this one!
