(a) The negatively charged particle shown in the diagram at left creates an electric field E, at location A.
j zero magnitude
What is the direction of Ep at location A? (Refer to the rosette above.)
с
✓X
(b) Now a block of metal is placed in the location shown by the dashed rectangle.
d
j zero magnitude
What is the direction of the electric field Em at location A due only to the charges in and/or on the metal block? (Refer to the rosette above.)
C
✓X
j zero magnitude
What is the direction of the electric field Em at location A due only to the charges in and/or on the metal block? (Refer to the rosette above.)
C
✓X
(c) With the metal block still in place, what is the direction of the net electric field at location A?
C
✓x
b
(d) With the metal block still in place, what is the magnitude of En, the field due only to the charged particle?
OE is zero, because the electric field due to the particle can't go through the block.
O E is the same as it was originally, without the block.
OE is less than it was originally, because the block is in the way.
(e) With the metal block still in place, how does the magnitude of Enet at location compare to the magnitude of E?
Enet is less than ✓x E₂l
(f) What is the direction of the net electric field at the center of the metal block (inside the metal)?
e
✓x
