Question

Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.-In a uniform electric field, the field lines are straight, parallel, and uniformly spaced.-Electric field lines near positive point charges radiate outward.-The electric force acting on a point charge is proportional to the magnitude of the point charge.-The electric field created by a point charge is constant throughout space.-Electric field lines near negative point charges circle clockwise.

Answer 1

Answer:

1-In a uniform electric field, the field lines are straight, parallel, and uniformly spaced this statement is true.

2-Electric field lines near positive point charges radiate outward. this statement is also true.

3-The electric force acting on a point charge is proportional to the magnitude of the point charge. this statement is true as well.

Explanation:

the electric field created by a point charge is defined by E=KQ/r^2 where k is constant, q is magnitude of charge and r is the distance away from the point charge so the electric filed is distance dependent and can not be constant at all distances.

electric field lines near a negative point charge are directed radially inward because negative charge attracts the field and is not clockwise.
