It will be directed away from the positive charge. It will attract any other negative charge and repel any positive charge. Its magnitude is given by E= KQ/R
where K = 9x 109 C2m-2N-1
Q is the charge producing field
R is the point where electric field is to be calculated

∙ 9y agoA positive charge placed in the electric field of a second positive charge will be repelled. this is because 2 positives do not attract.

How do you compare and contrast the electrical field around a negative charge and the electric field around a positive charge?
Around a positive charge we have a repulsive field and around negative charge we have an attractive field.
Which of the following is true about the electric field around an electric charge?
The electric field around an electric charge varies inversely as the square of the distance to the charge.
Electric field is positive or negative?
Did you mean "The strength of electric field is positive or negative"? Anyway, there is your answer.. The strength of an electric field E at any point is defined as the electric force F exerted per unit positive electric charge q at that point, or E = F/q.You can say that it is positive.
A what will move in the direction of the arrows on the electric field lines?
positive charge
What happens to the size of the electric filed if the charge on the test charge is halved?
Test charge is always a test charge. The electric field does not depend on the test charge. Usually we assume the test charge to be one coulomb positive charge. Though you make it half, it would never affect the field around the primary charge
Compare and contrast The Electric Field Around The Negative Charge And The Electric Field Around A Positive Charge?
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.

What is is true about electric field around an electric charge?
Everything. A positive charged particle generates an electric field equivalent to the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to near that charge.
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 is used to represent the electric field in space around a charge?
The force experienced by a unit positive charge kept would give details about the field around the charge

What is the electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
Definition to electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
Describe an electric field?
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
Where do electric field lines point?
The electric field lines are directed away from a positive charge and towards a negative charge so that at any point , the tangent to a field line gives the direction of electric field at that point.
A what will move in the direction of the arrows on the electric field lines?
positive charge
