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
A positive charge placed in the electric field of a second positive charge will be repelled. this is because 2 positives do not attract.
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.
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.
The electric field points outward.
Around a positive charge we have a repulsive field and around negative charge we have an attractive field.
The electric field around an electric charge varies inversely as the square of the distance to the charge.
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.
positive charge
Test charge is always a test charge. The electric field does not depend on the test charge. Usually we assume the test charge to be one coulomb positive charge. Though you make it half, it would never affect the field around the primary charge
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.
Around a positive charge we have a repulsive field and around negative charge we have an attractive field.
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.
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)
The force experienced by a unit positive charge kept would give details about the field around the charge

The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
The electric field is defined as the force per unit positive charge that would be experienced by a stationary point charge at a given location in the field.
The electric field lines are directed away from a positive charge and towards a negative charge so that at any point , the tangent to a field line gives the direction of electric field at that point.
