Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The electric field is zero because the fields from both charges cancel each other out.
The electric field is directed toward the negative charge.
The electric field is directed away from the positive charge.
The electric field is the sum of the two charges' fields, pointing in the same direction.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
At the midpoint, the positive charge pushes a test charge away while the negative charge pulls it toward. Other options are incorrect because It is easy to think all fields point toward the negative charge; It is common to assume the field always points away from the positive charge.

Definition
Dielectric materials impact the flow of charge in electric fields. When a dielectric is inserted, charge flows onto plates, altering the capacitor's behavior. Understanding this process helps in designing capacitors with large capacitance while considering factors like breakdown electric field.
