Question

when two ions are near each other, their electric fields interact. this model shows the electric field between two positive ions. complete the sentences to describe the model. because the two ions have the same charge, the ions repel each other. as a result, the electric field lines between them ______. options: bend apart, merge together

Explanation:

To determine the behavior of electric field lines between two positive ions (same charge, repelling), we analyze the model. Electric field lines from positive charges point outward. When two positive charges repel, their field lines between them cannot merge (as like charges repel), so they bend apart.

Answer:

bend apart
