Question #3
In a physics experiment, you isolate a nitrogen nucleus, with a charge of 7e, on the left and a carbon nucleus, with a charge of 6e, on the right. As a result,
A.   the electrical force on the nitrogen is to the left and the magnitude is larger than the force on carbon.
B.   the electrical force on the nitrogen is to the left and the magnitude is equal to the force on carbon.
C.   the electrical force on the nitrogen is to the right and the magnitude is smaller than the force on carbon.
D.   the electrical force on the nitrogen is to the right and the magnitude is larger than the force on carbon.
E.   the electrical force on the nitrogen is to the right and the magnitude is equal to the force on carbon.
