Question

this model shows the electric field between a positive ion and a negative ion.
complete the sentences to describe the model.
because the two ions have , the ions each other. as a result, the electric field lines between them .

Explanation:

1. First blank: In electrostatics, opposite charges (positive and negative) are attracted. So the two ions have opposite charges.
2. Second blank: Opposite charges attract each other, so the ions attract each other.
3. Third blank: Electric field lines go from positive to negative charges. Between opposite charges, the field lines are directed from the positive ion to the negative ion, so they connect (or go towards each other, showing the attraction).

Answer:

Because the two ions have \(\boldsymbol{\text{opposite charges}}\), the ions \(\boldsymbol{\text{attract}}\) each other. As a result, the electric field lines between them \(\boldsymbol{\text{connect (or go from the positive to the negative ion)}}\).
