What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields point away from positive charges and towards negative charges, while negative electric fields point towards positive charges and away from negative charges. In both cases, the direction indicates the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed in that field.
Electric field is positive or negative?
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.
Electric field lines point in the opposite direction charges would move if they were in the field?
positive
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.
When subtracting a negative and a positive your answer would be a positive?
If you are subtracting the negative from the positive, the answer will be positive. If you are subtracting the positive from the negative, the answer will be negative.
When you multiply a positive number by a negative by a negative one what is the sign of the answer?
A negative times a positive is a negative and that negative times a negative would = a positive. So the answer would be a positive number. *<:)
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.
If a is a negative number what would -a be?
If a i positive, -a is negative; if a is negative, -a is positive.
Would a positive multiplied by a negative be a positive?
No. A positive times a negative is always negative. A negative times a negative is always a positive.
Do electric fields point outward or inward?
Electric fields point outward from positive charges and inward toward negative charges. This direction represents the direction of the force that a positive test charge placed in the field would experience.
What would be the answer to positive 3 times negative 4?
A positive times a negative is negative, so positive 3 times negative 4 would be negative 12.
Is electric field lines point away from a positive charge?
Yes, electric field lines point away from positive charges and towards negative charges. This convention helps illustrate the direction of the force that a positive test charge would experience if placed in the electric field.
