the electric field is true?
10
15
Distance (cm)
A)
The electric field is zero at x=0, its magnitude is at a maximum at x=5 cm, and the
field is directed to the left there.
B)
The electric field is zero at x=5 cm, its magnitude is at a maximum at x=0, and the
field is directed to the right there.
C)
The electric field is zero at x=0, its magnitude is at a maximum at x=15 cm, and the
field is directed to the left there.
D) The electric field is zero at x=10 cm, its magnitude is at a maximum at x=5 cm, and
the field is directed to the right there.
E)
The electric field is zero at x=10 cm, its magnitude is at a maximum at x=0 cm, and
the field is directed to the left there.
