Carefully study the following plot of electric field E in N/C versus distance r in m and answer the questions that follow. The electric field is directed radially outward, and the variation of E with r is independent of direction.
a) Select all the true statements. If none of them are true, select "None of the above."
A. The electric field falls off as 1/r for r greater than R.
B. All points at a given distance d from the origin are at the same electrostatic potential.
C. The force on a positive charge placed at A points radially towards the origin.
D. The above electric field could be that due to a negatively charged spherical shell.
E. The work done by you to bring a point negative charge from infinity to A (it starts and finishes at rest) is negative.
F. The electric potential is constant for r less than R.
G. None of the above.
b) Referring to the figure above, determine the work done by the electric field on a 2.55μ C charge moved from A to B.

- Electric Fields 1. A wire has been given a net positive electric charge Q evenly distributed along its length. The wire has a length of L and is located on the x-axis with its left end at the origin as drawn. Set up the integral you need to do to find the electric field at a distance d to the left of the origin. Some steps you may wish to follow are: a. Figure out the direction the electric field will have at our location x = -d. This will be the same as f b. Write the differential charge dą in terms of the charge per length and a differential length. c. ris a function of x which means we have to integrate to find the electric field. Write down r. d. Put everything together (including the vector direction) into one integral that would allow you to find the E-field. Write this in the box below. e. You are not required to complete the integral and no credit is given for completing the integral. d dE =arrow_forwardI do not know how to solve the attached phyiscs question.arrow_forwardIn the figure, what is the NET electric field at point P? Note: By convention, a positive net electric field means that the direction is towards the + x-axis (towards the right in the figure below). a. 8.2 x 10^5 N/C. b. 8.7 x 10^5 N/C. c. 9.0 x 10^5 N/C. d. 9.4 x 10^5 N/C. e. 10.6 x 10^5 N/C.arrow_forward
