Question

17.Positive and negative point charges of equal magnitude are kept at (0,0,a/2)and(0,0,-a/2)respectively. The work done by the electric field when another positive point charge is moved from (–a,0,0) to (0,a,0) is

Q. Assertion :A small electric dipole is moved translationally from higher potential to lower potential in uniform electric field. Work done by electric field is positive. Reason: When a positive charge is moved from higher potential to lower potential, work done by electric field is positive.

Q. Electric field lines always point away from a positive charge and towards a negative point. In fact, electric fields originate at a positive charge and terminate at a negative charge. Why and how this happens so?
