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 dropdown, the ions dropdown each other. as a result, the ele options: opposite charges, the same charge en them dropdown.

Explanation:

1. First, observe the ions: both are positive (red +), so they have the same charge.
2. Like charges repel each other, so the ions repel.
3. For electric field lines between same - charged ions, they curve away from each other (since field lines from positive charges point outward, and between two positives, the lines don't connect but repel, so the field lines between them curve away, showing repulsion.

For the first blank: The two ions have the same charge (as both are +).
For the second blank: Same - charged ions repel each other.
For the third blank (about electric field between them): The electric field lines between them curve away (indicating repulsion, as field lines from positive charges don't connect to another positive, but push apart).

Answer:

First blank: the same charge
Second blank: repel
Third blank: curve away from (or similar description based on electric field line behavior for same - charged objects)

(Note: Since the original problem's dropdowns and full sentence context might have been partially cut, but based on the diagram (two positive ions), the key is same charge, repel, and field lines between them show repulsion (curving away).)
