Question

Intuitively, which of the following would happen to E⃗ net if d became very large? E⃗ net should reduce to the field of a point charge of magnitude q. E⃗ net should reduce to the field of a point charge of magnitude 4q. The larger d becomes, the smaller the magnitude of E⃗ net will be. The larger d becomes, the greater the magnitude of E⃗ net will be

Answer 1

when the distance (d) increases, the field should decrease in value,

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric field is proportional to the charge that generates it and inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the point at which it is measured, following the relationship

E = k q / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant ( 8.9875 10⁹ N m²/C²), q the electric charge and dr the distance of the charge to the calculation point of the electric field

Therefore, when the distance (d) increases, the field should decrease in value quickly by quadratic dependence with distance
