Question

Which of the following is not true for electric fields/lines?A.Electric fields always surround neutrons.B.Electric fields always surround positive charges.C.Electric field lines around a negative charge point toward the charge.D.Electric field lines are bent when charges interact.

Answer 1

Choice A: not true, since neutrons have charges of 0, they do not attract or generate electric fields.

Choice B: true, since electric fields travel from positive to negative charges, they always start from positive charges and therefore must "surround" them.

Choice C: true, since electric fields travel from positive to negative charges, they always point toward negative charges.

Choice D: true, whenever two charges interact, the field lines bend and arc.

Answer: A. Electric fields always surround neutrons
