A beta particle is essentially an electron. Electrons have a negative charge and as such, they are attracted to positively charged objects and fields.

Every charged particle produces a?
It produced a magnetic field. If it's charged, it can be negative OR positive. It's magnetic because if they're both alike signs (both positive or both negative) they repel like magnets. If one particle is positive and one is negative, they attract like magnets.
What happens to a positively charged object place within a positive electric field?
It will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.
What type of charge is produced when an electric field separated positive and negative charges?
In a way, you have answered your own question! All objects that have an electric charge at all have a charge which is either positive or negative. In either case, the charge can be large or small. The charge of the object has a particular value corresponding to a positive number for positive charges and a negative number for negative charges. Objects with no charge, or neutral objects, can be thought of as having an electric charge of zero. So it is easiest to think of the charge of an object as a number of charge units, where that number can be positive, negative or zero. So let's ask a slightly different version of your question: I've heard of positive and negative charges separating in an electric field. What is an example of this happening? Here is an example: A neutral atom of gas, like argon, is sitting in an electric field, and one of its electrons gets knocked off by a charged particle which comes flying by very close to it. The flying charged particle continues on, leaving the knocked off electron behind in the electric field. Now, the argon atom has been separated into two pieces: an argon ion with positive charge, +1 unit, and the knocked-off electron with negative charge, -1 unit. These two oppositely charged objects will separate further in the electric field if that field is strong enough. In fact, several of the particle detectors at Jefferson Lab work via this exact physical process.
A proton is in an electric field and has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J What is the electric potential voltage that it experiences?
First off you know that when it says "Proton" you should know that its a Positive (+) Charged subatomic particle! Now You use the equation that says --> Volt = Electric Potential Energy / Q Volt = 0.5 / +1 (proton) Volt = 0.5
What happens when the electric field is applied to a very polar molecule?
dipole when placed in nonuniform electric field it experiences a net force if field is varying in direction but if field is nonuniform in magnitude then force depends on its posititon it may experience a torque again depends on depends on its posititon so it may translate as well as rotate
Why do holes migrate in direction of the applied electric field?
It might help to consider a hole as a positive particle (or rather, quasi-particle). Any positive particle gets attracted by a negative charge, and repelled by a positive charge. Of course, in reality it is the electrons that move, to fill out the hole - but the effect is the same.
Which type of reaction would be attracted to the positive electrode in the electric field?
positron
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 the area around an electric charge which is strongest closest to the charged particle?
It's the electric field.
What is the electric field around a charged particle like?
The electric field pattern is radial.
Which kind of particle when passed through an electric field?
An Alpha particle.
When the distance from a charged particle decreases the strength of the electric field does what?
As the distance from a charged particle increases the strength of its electric field DECREASES.
What is true about an electric field around a positive charge?
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
The direction of the electric field vector is defined as?
Direction of the electric field vector is the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle in an external electric field.
What happens to the strength of the electric field each particle exerts on the other?
The strength of the electric field approaches zero
