Question
At which point will a negative charge experience a force directly downward?(A) $\mathrm{A}$(B) $\mathrm{B}$(C) $\mathrm{C}$(D) $\mathrm{D}$(E) $\mathrm{E}$
Step 1
At point A, the electric field due to the positive charge will be directed away from the charge, while the electric field due to the negative charge will be directed towards the charge. The net electric field at point A will be directed to the right. At point B, Show more…

A positive charge enters a magnetic field and travels parallel to, but opposite the field. It experiences (a) an upward force, (b) a downward force, (c) an accelerating force, (d) no force.
If a positive charge is placed at point $B$, the force exerted on this charge by charge $A$ will be directed toward (A) the top of the page (B) the bottom of the page (C) $A$ (D) $C$
An object with negative charge is placed in a region of space where the electric field is directed vertically upward. What is the direction of the electric force exerted on this charge? (a) It is up. (b) It is down. (c) There is no force. (d) The force can be in any direction.
