he electric field lines surrounding three charges are shown in the figure below. The center charge is q2 =-14.2 pC. E field lines 91 03 (a) What are the signs of q? and q3? q1 Select…? q3-Select--.? (b) Find q1 ?? HC (c) Find q3 HC Solution The electric field lines originating from q1 and q3 so they are positive charges q1 ( posiitve), q3 ( positive) (b) from figure,8 lines leaving from q1,q3 and q2 has16 lines entering it so q1 =q2/2 q2 =-14.2 ?C so q1 =q2/2 q1 =-7.1 ?C since q1 is positive q1 = 7.1 ?C (c) q3 =q2/2 q3 =-7.1 ?C since q3 is positive q3 = 7.1 ?C .
