Question

Decide which of the following statement about electric field lines are true, and which are false. (For each statement select T True, F False).

A) E-field lines point outward from positive charges.
B) E-field lines make circles around positive charges.
C) E-field lines point inward toward negative charges.
D) A point charge q, released from rest will initially move along an E-field line.
E) Where the E-field lines are denser the E-field must be stronger.
F) E-field lines can never cross.
G) E-field lines could begin or end in a charge-free region. (We are not counting infinity as a region!).

Explanation / Answer

electric field is the line along which a nit positive charge moves freely

they start at positive charge and end on negative charge

they radially distributed from point charge

A) E-field lines point outward from positive charges. TRUE

B) E-field lines make circles around positive charges.   FALSE

C) E-field lines point inward toward negative charges. TRUE

D) A point charge q, released from rest will initially move along an E-field line.   TRUE

E) Where the E-field lines are denser the E-field must be stronger.TRUE

F) E-field lines can never cross. TRUE

G) E-field lines could begin or end in a charge-free region. (We are not counting infinity as a region!). FALSE
