the right of the dipole Q Q q x A The positive test charge feels a force that is A zero B to the right C to the left If the test charge q is removed electric field at position A is A zero B to the right C to the left D There is no electric field at point A when the test charge is removed If a negative test charge q is used to measure the Electric field at A the electric field at position A is A zero B to the right C to the left Answers The force on q is to the left The E field at A points to the left regardless of whether the test charge is positive q or negative q Q21 8 Two charges Q and Q
