Question

termine for each of the following statements whether it is correct or incorrect correc, The Electric Field at a point due to a charge distribution is a scalar correct The Electric Field at a point is numerically equal to the force that an electron placed at the point would feel rrect The force between two charges is a scalar quantity rect A positive charge placed at the center of a negatively charged (uniform) spherical shell is not in equilibrium. rect A charge placed at the center of a square which has 4 equal charges at its 4 corners is in stable equilibrium.

Explanation / Answer

1. Electric Field is always a vector Quantity. Answer: Incorrect

2. Electric Field is calculated based on force experience by a positive test charge. Answer: Incorrect

3. Force is always a vector quantity. Answer: Incorrect

4. Net Force on positive charge is zero, therefore Equilibrium. Answer: Incorrect

5. Net Force is Zero, but A small displacement given to charge at the center, will not be able to bring back it to center, therefore Unstable Equilibrium  Answer: Incorrect
