4 0

Based on this electric field diagram, the statement which best compares the charge of A with B is "A is negatively charged and B is positively charged. The charge on A is greater than that on B".

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The charge is quantized represented as elementary charge, about 1.602×10−19 coulombs. Their are two kinds of electric charging: positive and negative (usually transported, separately, by protons and electrons). Like charges repel each other, while attraction occurs among unlike charges. An entity without net charge is considered neutral. If a piece of matter comprises more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge, when there are fewer, it'll have a positive charge and when there are equal amounts, this will be neutral.

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

$F=qE$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

$q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

$E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C$ (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

$F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N$

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.
