37- Consider the lines of force as shown in the figure. Two unit positive charges are kept at points A and B.
A B
Explanation: Electric field density is represented by the closeness of the field lines. The lines are significantly closer and more dense at region B than at region A, meaning the electric field strength (and thus the force $F = qE$) is greater at position B.
38- Field lines due to a positive point charge are _______
a) Circular, Counter-Clockwise +q
b) Circular, Clockwise +q
c) Parallel, Uniform +q
d) Radial, Outward +q
Explanation: Electric field lines naturally emerge symmetrically and extend radially outward away from an isolated positive point charge.
