Consider the arrangement of two fixed point charges, equal in
magnitude, shown in the figure. Which of the following statements
are correct for the initial motion of a third charge if it is
released from rest in the vicinity of the two charges shown?
True False A positive charge at point c
will accelerate toward the lower-left.
True False A negative charge at point a
will accelerate toward the lower-right.
True False A positive charge at point e
will accelerate down.
True False A positive charge at point d
will accelerate up.
True False A negative charge at point b
will accelerate down.
Note - Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. For example - a negative charge will pull a positive charge but will push a negative charge.
A positive charge at point c will accelerate toward the lower-left.
False - The charge will move up
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A negative charge at point a will accelerate toward the lower-right.
False - The charge will move downward
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A positive charge at point e will accelerate down
True - The positive charge in figure will push positive charge at e.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A positive charge at point d will accelerate up.
False - It should move down because of negative charge (unlike charges)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A negative charge at point b will accelerate down.
True - The negative charge will push the charge down and positive charge will also pull the charge down. so net direction is down.
