  • Maximum
  • Study Notes

    Electric Field Behavior

    • Between two like charges, the electric field lines repel each other, resulting in zero electric field at the midpoint.
    • The electric field decreases with increasing distance from a point charge, following an inverse square relationship (1/r²).

    Electrostatic Equilibrium

    • Inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field is zero, meaning the charges are distributed such that the net electric field is zero.
