Answer:
a)
The direction will be negative direction.
b)
The direction will be positive direction.
Explanation:
Given that
q1 = +7.7 µC is at x1 = +3.1 cm
q2 = -19 µC is at x2 = +8.9 cm
We know that electric filed due to a charge given as



Now by putting the va;ues
a)




The net electric field


The direction will be negative direction.
As we know that electric filed line emerge from positive charge and concentrated at negative charge.
b)
Now
distance for charge 1 will become =5.5 - 3.1 = 2.4 cm
distance for charge 2 will become =8.9-5.5 = 3.4 cm




The net electric field


The direction will be positive direction.
Answer:

Explanation:
If we assume that the Earth is a spherical conductor, according to Gauss's Law, the electric field is given by:

Here k is the Coulomb constant, the excess charge on the Earth's surface and r its radius. Solving for q:

Answer:
yes
Explanation:
because it is independent of eachother
I would definitely think its B....
