Question

Here are several pairs of electric charges.  In each pair, figure out whether the

         magnitudeof the electric field at point 1 is greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitudeelectric field at point 2 (E₁> E₂, E1 < E₂, or E₁= E₂). All spacings are equal, as illustrated in the first pair.

         In each case, explain your answer by drawing a three-arrow diagram for point 1 anda three-arrow diagram for point 2.  In each diagram, one arrow represents the field caused by the left-hand charge, one arrow represents the field caused by the right-hand charge, and the third arrow represents the net field at that point.  If the net field at a point is zero, just write E₁= 0 or E₂= 0.

         Use the graph at the end of these questions so that you can draw the field arrows with the correct relative lengths.  All charges have the same magnitude except in e) and f).
