What else can I help you with?
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 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.
Which of the following is true about the electric field around an electric charge?
The electric field around an electric charge is a vector field that exerts a force on other charges placed in the field. The strength of the electric field decreases with distance from the charge following the inverse square law. The direction of the electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially inward toward a negative charge.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
What is an electric field around a single charge?
An electric field around a single charge is the region in which other charged particles experience a force due to the presence of that charge. The electric field lines point away from positive charges and towards negative charges, with the strength decreasing with distance from the charge. The magnitude and direction of the electric field at any point can be calculated using Coulomb's law and the principle of superposition.
