The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure 24.5 is that produced by the charge distribution in the wire. Justify the direction shown in each part, using the Coulomb force law and the definition of E = F/q, where q is a positive test charge.
The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure is that produced by the charge distribution in the wire.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
- The direction of the electric field is upward
- The value of electric field is zero.
- The direction of the electric field is downward
- The direction of the electric field is upward
Given info:
Justify the direction shown in each part, using the Coulomb force law and the definition of E=F/q, where q is a positive test charge?
Explanation:
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part a is towards upper direction.
The distances between the positive and negative charge in part b is zero, so the electric field value is zero, so there is direction.
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part c is towards downward direction.
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part a is towards upper direction.
Conclusion:
The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure is studied.

- The drawing in the image attached shows an edge-on view of two planar surfaces that intersect and are mutually perpendicular. Side 1 has an area of 1.90 m^2, Side 2 has an area of 3.90 m^2, the electric field in magnitude is around 215 N/C. Please find the electric flux magnitude through side 1 and 2 combined if the angle (theta) made between the electric field with side 2 is 30.0 degrees. I believe side 1 is 60 degrees but could be wrong. Thank you.arrow_forwardAfter the countdown at the beginning of a Mario Kart race, Bowser slams on the gas, taking off from rest.
