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 positive charge at point d will accelerate up. A negative charge at point a will accelerate toward the lower - right. A positive charge at point c will accelerate toward the lower-left. A negative charge at point b will accelerate down. A positive charge at point e will accelerate down.

Explanation / Answer

According to the question

We know that

A)

False

The positive charge will be accelerated upwards.

Then,

B)

True

The negative chargeat point e will accelerate up.

Then,

C)

True

A negative charge at point b will accelerate down.

Then,

D)

False

A negative charge at point d will accelerate down

Then,

E)

True

A negative charge at point c will accelerate toward the lower right
