An electric field has?
An electric field has both magnitude and direction and can be represented by lines of force, or field lines, that start on positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)
What force attracts a positive charge towards a negative charge?
Charges create an electric field around them. This electric field creates a force that attracts or repels other charges. The field attracts opposite charges or repels same charges. The force F= q1q2 zc/2r2 .
Electric field lines point in the opposite direction charges would move if they were in the field?
positive
What is the separation of positive and negative charges due to electric field called?
static charge
What forces attract a positive charge towards a negative charge?
Charges create an electric field around them. This electric field creates a force that attracts or repels other charges. The field attracts opposite charges or repels same charges. The force F= q1q2 zc/2r2 .
You turn an electric dipole end for end in a uniform electric field.How does the work you do depend on the initial orientation of the dipole with respect to the field?
The work done by you to turn the electric dipole end for end in a uniform electric field depends on the initial orientation of the dipole with respect to the field. If the dipole is initially oriented such that its positive and negative charges are parallel to the electric field, then no net work is done as the electric field does not do any work on the dipole as the electric field lines do not transfer any energy. On the other hand, if the dipole is initially oriented such that its positive and negative charges are perpendicular to the electric field, then work is done by you to turn the dipole as the electric field exerts a force on the charges in the dipole in opposite directions, causing them to move in opposite directions. As a result, you have to do work to move the charges and turn the dipole.
What is the net field midway between the two identical negative charge?
Electric field at the mid point between the two identical negative charges will be zero. In the same way, if both charges are of identical positive, the field at the mid way will be zero.
Why does a dipole moment orient from negative to positive if in an electric field the field runs from positive to negative?
Because opposite charges attract. The negative end of the dipole moment is trying to get to the positive end of the field, and the positive end of the dipole is trying to get to the negative end of the field.
What is a charges electric field?
electric field due to a single charge.
What is electrical fields?
If you mean an electric field it is the field that surrounds an electric charge. If you have two parallel plates with positive and negative charges, the amount of electric field in the space between the plates is the voltage difference divided by the distance. Electric field E is measured in volts per metre.
What surrounds electric charges and exerts force on other charges?
An electric field surrounds the charge and exerts force on other charges.
