What else can I help you with?
When determining an electric field must a positive test charge be used or would a negative one do as well?
Either a positive or a negative test charge can be used to determine an electric field. The direction of the electric field will be defined by the force experienced by the test charge, with the positive test charge moving in the direction of the field and the negative test charge moving opposite to the field.
What is the part of the atom that carries no electric charge?
The neutrons are the part of the atom that carry no electric charge. They are found in the nucleus. the protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge.
The electric field of a point charge always points away from the charge?
If the given point charge is of positive one then the field points away from the charge. This is because we define the field at a point as the FORCE acting on unit POSITIVE charge. Like charges have to repel and hence the direction. If, other wise, the point charge is negative then electric field due to this negative charge would be towards the negative and not away from it.
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?
The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is electric charge. Positive charges are carried by protons, negative charges by electrons.
What is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
The electric change of protons in the nucleus is the?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
Which automatic practicles have a negative electric charge?
its electrons
What electron has a electric charge?
An electron has a negative electric charge.
What are the kinds of electric charge?
The kinds of electric charge are positive charge and negative charge
How does the electric field direction change from positive to negative in a given system?
In a given system, the electric field direction changes from positive to negative when the source of the electric field changes its charge from positive to negative.
What is the direction of the electric field near a negative charge?
The electric field near a negative charge points radially inward towards the charge.
How do the particles of an atom differ in electric charge?
some is positive and some are negative and some are neutral and thats how there differ
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 does a negative point charge behave in an electric field produced by a positive point charge?
A negative point charge will be attracted towards a positive point charge in an electric field.
What direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a negative charge?
The electric field points toward the negative charge.
Why do atoms have no electric change?
Because the positive charge of the protons in an atom are cancelled out by the negative charges of the electrons in the atom.
What is true about an electric field around a negative charge?
The electric field around a negative charge points radially inward towards the charge. The field lines move from areas of higher potential to lower potential. The magnitude of the electric field decreases with distance from the negative charge.
