"Field Work"
Consider the figure at the right. The blue balls are located at (-1,1,0) and (1,-1,0) each carry a charge, Q. The green balls are located at (1,1,0) and (-1,-1,0). They each carry a charge -Q. There are three points marked in red, O is the origin, P1 is (0,0,2) and P2 is (2,0,0). There are no charges at these points. Which of the following statements is true? - The magnitude of the electric field is greatest at the origin.
- The magnitude of the electric field is greater at point P2 than at the other two points.
- The magnitude of the electric field is zero at all three points.
- The magnitude of the electric field is lower at point P1 than it is at the origin.
- All of the above.
- None of the above.
