If a point charge is released from rest in a uniform electric field, will it follow a field line? Will it do so if the electric field is not uniform?
A point charge q = -0.55 nC is fixed at the origin. Where musta proton be placed in order for the electric force acting on it to beexactly opposite to its weight? (Let the y axis be vertical and the xaxis be horizontal.)
It is _________________ (true/false) that the direction of the electric field from a positive point charge is inward and outward.
