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.
What direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a negative charge?
The electric field points toward the negative charge.
How do you compare and contrast the electrical field around a negative charge and the electric field around a positive charge?
The electric field around a negative charge points inward, towards the charge, while the electric field around a positive charge points outward, away from the charge. The electric field strength decreases with distance from both charges, following an inverse square law relationship.
What is the electric field due to a line of charge?
The electric field due to a line of charge is a vector field that points radially outward from the line of charge. Its magnitude decreases as the distance from the line of charge increases.
What is the definition of potential defference?
Potential difference is the difference in electric potential between two points in an electric field. It is measured in volts and represents the work done per unit charge in moving a test charge between the two points.
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.
If the electric field due to the excess charge on the Earth points downward what type of charge does the Earth carry?
The Earth carries a negative charge, as the electric field due to excess negative charge on the Earth points downward.
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.
What direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a negative charge?
The electric field points toward the negative charge.
Where would you charge an electric car?
There are many places where one is able to charge an electric car. Most people tend to charge at home. However, there are three different types of charging stations. Typically, these are grouped into slow, fast and rapid charging points. 'Slow' points take 6-8 hours to fully charge an average electric car 'Fast' points take 3-4 hours 'Rapid' points take around 30 minutes to give an 80 per cent charge For up-to-date information regarding UK charging points see the Sources and related links section, below.

What is the electric field due to a line of charge?
The electric field due to a line of charge is a vector field that points radially outward from the line of charge. Its magnitude decreases as the distance from the line of charge increases.
What is the definition of potential defference?
Potential difference is the difference in electric potential between two points in an electric field. It is measured in volts and represents the work done per unit charge in moving a test charge between the two points.
Are electrons the same as electric charge?
No. An electric charge is a property of certain particles (and larger amounts of matter); electrons have an electric charge of (-1) elementary units, but other particles also have electric charge. For example, protons have an electric charge of (-1), quarks may have charges like (2/3) and (-1/3), etc.
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.
In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly north of a positive charge?
The electric field points directly away from a positive charge. Therefore, at a position directly north of a positive charge, the electric field would also point directly away from the positive charge.
In which direction does the electric field point at a position direcly south of a positive charge?
The electric field points away from a positive charge in all directions, meaning it would also point away to the south of the charge.
