Question

Selecting different charge configurations Pick three charge configurations involving one positive charge, one negative charge, two positive charges, and two charges with an opposite polarity. You will select the magnitude for these charges. Part II: Predict Using your understanding of electric forces and electric fields, draw the electric field lines for all of these configurations. At this point you are not making any calculations, but you are making predictions about how the electric field around the charges will look. While you are making these predictions, please do not reference the internet or your textbook. Draw the field lines for the isolated charges below. Make sure you are sketching continuous field lines.

Explanation / Answer

isolated positive charge - electric lines of forces are radially outwards from positive charge .

isolated negative charge - electric lines of forces are radially inwards into negative charge .

two like charges -   electric lines of forces are radially outwards or inwards with a region of zero electric field between two like charges .

two unlike charges -    electric lines of forces are radially outwards from positive charge and than goes radially inwards into negative charge .
