A drawing of electric field lines will immediately reveal (1) the relative magnitude of different charges (proportional to the number of lines that begin or end on each), (2) the sign of different charges (since lines go into negative charges and come out of positive charges), (3) the relative magnitude of the electric field at any point (because the magnitude of the field is proportional to how closely spaced the field lines are), and (4) the symmetry of the charge distribution (since they match the symmetry of the underlying field).

The complete question is on the all the uploaded image

Answer:

  • sfjj
  • A)rule 1,3,5 are broken
  • B)rule 2,3 are broken
  • C) rule 2 are broken
  • D) rule 2,3 are broken
  • E)rule 2 are broken
  • F)none
  • G) rule 3,4 are broken
  • H) rule 2,4,5 are broken

Step-by-step explanation:

This solution were gotten by examining the diagrams and figuring out the rules that are broken

For A

we see that the two charges are positive so rule 1 is broken,on the same diagram we see that there is no radial symmetry close to the charge so rule 3 is broken then looking again at the diagram A we can see that the electric field is not tangent to any electric line at any point hence rule 5 is broken

For B:

We see that the number of lines are not proportional to the magnitude of the charge hence rule 2 has been broken

secondly looking again at the diagram we see that the line are not uniformly distributed near the charge hence rule 3 is broken

For C:

We see that the number of line is not proportional to the magnitude of the charge hence rule 2 is broken.

For D:

we see that the number of lines are not proportional to the magnitude of the charge hence rule 2 has been broken

secondly looking again at the diagram we see that the line are not uniformly distributed near the charge hence rule 3 is broken

For E:

We see that the number of line is not proportional to he magnitude of the charge hence rule 2 is broken.

For F

Looking at the diagram we see that none of the rules are broken

For G:

looking at the diagram we see that the line are not uniformly distributed near the charge hence rule 3 is broken

taking another look at the diagram we see that the spacing of the lines are not indicating the magnitude of the charge hence rule 4 is broken

For H:

We see that the number of line is not proportional to he magnitude of the charge hence rule 2 is broken.

taking another look at the diagram we see that the spacing of the lines are not indicating the magnitude of the charge hence rule 4 is broken

Looking again at the diagram we see that the at any point on the electric field line that the electric field itself is not tangent to the electric field line hence rule 5 is broken
