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 b will accelerate up. A negative charge at point e will accelerate up. A positive charge at point d will accelerate up. A positive charge at point c will accelerate toward the lower-left. A negative charge at point a will accelerate toward the lower-right. Incorrect. Tries 3/6 Previous Tries
Explanation / Answer
1) a positive charge at point b accelerate up is ..................true, because it is attracted by upper negative charge and repelled by lower positive charge so it accelerates up
2) true ....... because it was attracted by upper positive charge which is more compare to repulsive force
3) false.....
4) false ..... because net force is along y- axis. x- components cancell each other
5) false
