Question

For the electric field shown, which of the following statements describes an increase in voltage?

A. A positive charge moves along an equipotential line.

B. A positive charge crosses an equipotential line toward the source charge.

C. A negative charge crosses an equipotential line toward the source charge.

D. You cannot tell from the information given.

Answer 1

please,wait a moment since many stuudents are asking for help

Answer 2

ok!

Answer 3

the electric voltage is given by the subsequent formula:
\[V\left( r \right) = K\frac{Q}{r}\]

Answer 4

ok! what do we plug in?

Answer 5

where r is the subsequent distance:

Answer 6

in order to increase the potential, we have:
1) decrese the distance r, if the other charge is positive

2) increase the distance r if the other charge is negative

Answer 7

decrease*

Answer 8

ohh okay!! so then our solution is choice B? :/

Answer 9

that's right!

Answer 10

yay!! thank you1!:D

Answer 11
