Question

Monday Homework Problem 3.3 Consider the points A and B in the electric field map at the right. Compare the magnitude of the electric force exerted on a point charge with charge + placed at points A and B Select One of the Following (a) The forces are equal at A and B. (b) The force at A is about twice as strong as the force at B (c) The force at A is about half as strong as the force at B. (d) The force at A is about four times as strong as the force at B. (e) The force at A is about one quarter as strong as the force at B.

Explanation / Answer

Option is (a). As it is clear from the field map that the line of force on which points A and B lie is a straight line which implies uniform electric field along the line of force, so, the charge will experience same force at both points.
