What is true of an object pulled inward in an electric field?
slava [35]

Answer:

option b

Explanation:

There is an object pulled inward in an electric field.

We have to find out of the four options given which is true.

a) The object has a neutral charge is false since when electric field pulls the object inward, there is a charge inside.

b) The object has a charge opposite that of the field, this option is correct since there will be an equal and opposite charge created by the object

c) The object has a negative charge will be correct only if the original charge was positive hence wrong

d) The object has a charge the same as that of the field is incorrect since this would be opposite the charge

So only option b is right

Two equal charges with magnitude Q and Q experience a force of 12.3442 when held at a distance r. What is the force between two
Pepsi [2]

Answer:197.504 N

Explanation:

Given

Two Charges with magnitude Q experience a  force of 12.344 N

at distance r

and we know Electrostatic force is given

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F=\frac{kQ\cdot Q}{r^2}

F=\frac{kQ^2}{r^2}

Now the magnitude of charge is 2Q and is at a distance of \frac{r}{2}

F'=\frac{k2Q\cdot 2Q}{\frac{r^2}{2^2}}

F'=16F

F'=197.504 N
