Answer:
The electric field always decreases.
Explanation:
The electric field due to a point charge is given by :
Where
k = electric constant
q = charge
r = distance from the charge
It is clear from the above equation that as the distance from the charge particle increases the electric field decreases. As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field always decreases. Hence, the correct option is (c) "Always decreases".
The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is
1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,
The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is
The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.
2)
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The magnitude of any vector is given by,
The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.
So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.
