Students have asked these similar questions
a. Explain the two possible scenarios wherein the negative test
charge moves in the opposite direction of the horizontal electric
field.
2. For each scenario in letter a, if there is one positive linear charge
and one negative linear charge included in the system, locate
whether the positive and the negative linear charges are at the left
or at the right side of the horizontal electric field.
3. Is the movement of the negative test charge in accordance to
its natural response when it enters the electric field or not?
Meaning, is the negative test charge goes to the positive
linear charge and away from the negative charge or does it
have an opposite reaction?
To accomplish the task, please use these possible conclusions for each
scenario:
Since the negative test charge enters the electric field in a way
that it is the same as its natural response, therefore, work is positive.
However, the energy needed to go against Coulomb's law is not greatly
needed. That's why the electric potential…

A collection of four charges and four Gaussian surfaces are shown in the figure. The charges have values: q1=+7.46nC q2=−7.46nC q3=+11.2nC q4=−15.8nCThe dashed lines represent the intersection of the closed three-dimensional surfaces with the plane of the image. If a charge is shown within a dashed curve, then it is contained with the corresponding surface.
