1.What is the limitation of Coulomb’s law? If you have a single charge in the entire universe, can you measure the electric field of this charge at any point? 2. What is the importance of Gauss’s law? Show that Coulomb’s can be a special case of Gauss’s law. 3. Figure shows the arrangements of electric field lines. If an electron is released at point B, what would happen to this electron and why? Explain. If you move the electron from B to A, what would happen to its potential energy? Explain.
Answer the following questions and for figure check the attached image

2. What is the importance of Gauss’s law? Show that Coulomb’s can be a special case of Gauss’s law.
3. Figure shows the arrangements of electric field lines. If an electron
is released at point B, what would happen to this electron and why?
Explain. If you move the electron from B to A, what would happen
to its potential energy? Explain.
4. Figure shows two charged particles that are separated by distance X on an axis. The charges are held fixed. Where should a third charge, q, be placed on the axis such that the net force on q is zero? Explain. Can you determine its distance?
