Write the properties of electric lines of forces.

(figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)





(i) A negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field.
(ii) The tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field.
(iii) The electric field lines never intersect.
(iv) The electric field lines form a closed loop.




The electric field lines of a positive charge is as shown in figure:
Give the sign of work done by the field in moving a small positive charge from to .

The electric field lines on the left have twice the separation on those on the right as shown in figure. If the magnitude of the field at is , what is the force on charge kept at


Write the properties of electric lines of force.






Figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. If and are linear momentum of the proton at point B in the three arrangement respectively, then

A small point mass carrying some positive charge on it, is released from the edge of a table. There is a uniform electric field in this region in the horizontal direction. Which of the following options then correctly describe the trajectory of the mass ? (Curves are drawn schematically and are not to scale)
