How are the lines of force drawn around a single charge electric field?
always towards the charge
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.
What happens to the electric field around a single charge when another charge is added to the system?
The shape of the electric field is altered. The fields will react by either repelling or attracting each other.
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.
What surrounds electric charges and exerts force on other charges?
An electric field surrounds the charge and exerts force on other charges.
How are the lines of force drawn around a single charge electric field?
always towards the charge
What is a charges electric field?
electric field due to a single charge.
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.
What happens to the electric field around a single charge when another charge is added to the system?
The shape of the electric field is altered. The fields will react by either repelling or attracting each other.
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.
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.
What is the area around an electric charge which is strongest closest to the charged particle?
It's the electric field.
What happens to the electric field around a single charge when another chrage is added to the system?
The shape of the electric field is altered. The fields will react by either repelling or attracting each other.
If electric field lines surrounding a single point charge are directed towards the charge then the charge is?
negative
Is electric a field?
The force around a another charge whether it is attracting or repulsive due to the another point charge is known as electric field
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.
What makes a electric field?
The presence of charge creates an electric field. The electric field is just a convenient quantity of how much another charge would move *if* it were placed near the first charge.
