For the followingproblem choose the best answer and EXPLAIN why you chose theanswer. An isolated particle has a net positive electric charge. Which of the following is true? The charge on the particle will be in an integer multiple of the electron charge. The particle will attract negatively but not neutrally charged objects. The electric field around the particle increases in strength with increasing distance. A neutral object brought close to but not into contact with the particle will be permanently polarized. A point 0.1 m away from the particle will have a negative electrical potential.
Explanation / Answer
A. Chargeon particle is an integer multiple of electronic charge.(quantization of charge) B. Chargedparticle would attract neutral objects as well due topolarization. C. E = (1/40)* q / r2, i.e. field strength will decrease withincreasing distance. D. Neutralobject will be polarized only temporarily. E. Potentialwill be positive as the particle is positively charged.
