Direction of Electric Field
The electric field produced by an electric dipole is called a dipole field. The actual force on a particle with charge q is given by F qE. What Is An Electric Field And How Is It Created The electric field is defined as the electric force per unit charge. . If a time varying magnetic field exists in vertically downwards direction in a region A an electric field is induced in the direction perpendicular to it ie. On a typical clear day the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 NC. Answer 1 of 3. It points in the opposite direction of the electric field E for a negative charge. And the direction of the field is the direction of the electric force it would exert on a positive test charge. We will find the electric field of an electric dipole at two points on the axial line and equatorial line. In that area lines of force becomes parallel to each other see fig abov...
