Question

1- Sketch the electric field around a positive point charge?

1- Sketch the electric field around a positive point charge? The diagram at right shows the electric field lines due to a small spherical charge. Is this charge positive or negative? If a positive charge is placed at point A in the diagram what will be the direction of the electrical force on the charge at A? If, instead, a negative charge is placed at point A in the diagram what will be the direction of the electrical force on the charge at A?

Explanation / Answer

1. Charge if negative

2. Force will be towards left.(towards negative chareg in -x axis)

3.  Force will be towardsright.(towards negative chareg in +x axis)
