Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. **Proton Charge:**  
   The charge on a proton is **positive**.

2. **Electron Charge:**  
   The charge on an electron is **negative**.

3. **True Statements about Charge Interactions:**  
   - **(a)** Charges that are the same repel each other.  
   - **(c)** Charges that are different attract each other.  
   *(Statements (b) and (d) are false.)*

4. **Reason Protons Repel Protons but Attract Electrons:**  
   Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. Since like charges repel and opposite charges attract, protons repel each other and attract electrons.

5. **Interaction Between Electric Charges:**  
   The interaction between electric charges is called the **electric force**.

6. **Electric Force Definition:**  
   Electric force is the force of attraction or repulsion between charged objects. According to Coulomb’s law, it is given by  
   $$
   F = k \frac{\left|q_1 q_2\right|}{r^2},
   $$
   where $$ q_1 $$ and $$ q_2 $$ are the charges, $$ r $$ is the distance between their centers, and $$ k $$ is Coulomb's constant.

7. **Electric Field Lines Indication:**  
   Electric field lines are drawn with arrows to indicate the **direction** of the electric field.

8. **True or False Statement About the Electric Field:**  
   The statement "The greater the distance from a charged object, the stronger the electric field" is **false**. In reality, the magnitude of the electric field decreases with distance from the charge.

9. **Superposition of Electric Fields:**  
   When there are two or more charges, the electric fields of each individual charge **superimpose** (i.e., they combine vectorially by repelling or attracting).
1. **Proton Charge:** The charge on a proton is **positive**. 2. **Electron Charge:** The charge on an electron is **negative**. 3. **True Statements about Charge Interactions:** - **(a)** Charges that are the same repel each other. - **(c)** Charges that are different attract each other. 4. **Reason Protons Repel Protons but Attract Electrons:** Protons repel each other because they have the same positive charge and attract electrons because they have opposite charges. 5. **Interaction Between Electric Charges:** The interaction is called the **electric force**. 6. **Electric Force Definition:** Electric force is the force that charged objects exert on each other. 7. **Electric Field Lines Indication:** Electric field lines show the **direction** of the electric field. 8. **True or False Statement About the Electric Field:** The statement is **false**. The electric field actually **weakens** as you move farther away from a charged object. 9. **Superposition of Electric Fields:** When multiple charges are present, their electric fields **add up** (superimpose) by repelling or attracting each other.
