This picture represents the electric field diagram between two particles with static charges. Do the two particles have the same

charge? If the particles are free to move, what affect will the two particles have on each other? If a third particle was added to this field with a positive charge, what would it be attracted to? If an uncharged particle was placed between A and B, which way would it move?

Answers:

No, They will attract each other, B, and neither direction

Explanation:

Since the two already presented particles in the diagram represent both opposing charges due to the direction of the arrows (the arrows facing away from the particle shows a positive charge and the particles facing towards the particle show a negative charge), not only because of this but as the arrows between the particles show an attracting magnetic field, then it can be concluded that the particles will attract to each other and if another particle was introduced into the diagram of a positive charge, then it would attract to the negatively charged particle.
