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.

In which direction do electric field points from positive to negative?

The electric field points from positive to negative.


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 strength and direction of the electric field between positive and negative charges?

The strength of the electric field between positive and negative charges is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them. The direction of the electric field is from the positive charge to the negative charge.


In which direction do electric field lines go from positive to negative charges?

Electric field lines go from positive charges to 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)


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.


An electric field begins on north poles and end on south poles?

That is not correct. Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges. In the case of a uniform electric field, the field lines run from the positive plate to the negative plate.


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 does a positive mean for electric field strength?

A positive electric field strength indicates that the field is directed away from a positive charge or towards a negative charge. It signifies the direction in which a positive test charge would move if placed in the electric field.


Are positive or negative electric fields dangerous?

No. Any charged object ... the positive and negative ions in table salt, for example... emits an electric field.


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.
