The lines in the figure below show the equipotential contours in the plane of three point charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3. Note that these are point charges (one is not bigger in size than the others; they're points). That means that the potential goes to infinity as you approach them. We've cut off the contours at plus and minus 7kV. The white space is where the potential is greater or less than that. The values of the equipotential lines are in kV, and we labeled the +1, 0, and -1 kV contours. The positions of the charges are also labeled.

For each statement below, select "True" or "False".
1. The force on a proton at 'c' points toward Q3.
2. Charge Q2 is the smallest negative charge.
3. Q1 is a negative charge.
4. The magnitude of the electric field E at 'h' is nonzero.
5. The electric field E at 'g' is stronger than at 'a'.
6. Charge Q3 has the largest magnitude of all.
