A charge Q experiences no net force at a particular point in space. Which of the following situations described below must ALWAYS be true?

-There are no other charges nearby.

-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the same sign as Q.

-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the opposite sign of Q.

-If there are other charges nearby, the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge.

-None of the Above

Respuesta :

Answer:

-There are no other charges nearby.

Explanation:

-There are no other charges nearby.

If there is no net charge in nearby space then the force on this charge will be ZERO

-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the same sign as Q.

There there is nearby charge of same sign then it will have repulsion force on Q

-If there are other charges nearby, they must all have the opposite sign of Q.

if there is nearby charge of opposite sign then the force must be attraction force.

-If there are other charges nearby, the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge.

If there exist two type of charges nearby then there may exist either attraction or repulsion force on it

The situation which is always true described by - There are no other charges nearby. The first option is correct.

What is electrostatic force?

The electrostatic force F between two charged objects placed distance apart is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where k = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Given is a charge Q experiences no net force at a particular point in space.

When there is no net force acting on any charge, there will be no charges nearby which attracts or repels it.

Thus, the correct option is A.
