The following diagram shows a point P, which is at a distance of 25 cm away from a 9. -86 nC charge. Use the cardinal points shown when specifying directions. -86 nC P. 25 cm a) Draw the electric field lines around the charge. b) How does the nature of the electric field lines drawn in a) indicate that the electric field of the charge is not uniform? c) If you move in a northerly direction from point P, will the electric field increase, decrease or remain constant? Give a reason for your answer. d) Determine the electric field (both magnitude and direction) at the point P. e) Use your answer to d) to determine the magnitude of the electrostatic force that an electron would experience when placed at point P.
