Question

in the two scenarios to the right, consider a point P to the right of two identical positive point charges. The point is the same distance r from each charge in both Scenario A scenarios and lies along the bisecting line as drawn. In scenario 2 the two charges are closer to the bisecting line (and each other) than in scenario 1. 4. +q +q The force on an electron placed at point P be greater in: +q Scenario B A BSame Can't Tell The electric potential at point P is greater in: A B Same Can't Tell CIRCLE: +q CIRCLE The energy stored in the charges and fields is greater in: IRCLE A B Same Can't Tell

Explanation / Answer

part a

force is inversely proprtional to square of distance

Distance is lesser in scenario B there fore B is correct option

part b)

B is correct as electric potential is inversely proportional to distance

part c

Energy stores is given by E = kQ1Q2/r

Thue here also B is correct
