It consists of a directed line which is tangent to the field vector at each point along its length. Electric field lines are continuous curves in a charge free region. Electric field lines either originate on positive charges or come in from infinity, and either terminate on negative charges or extend out to infinity. Thus, the electric field direction about a positive source charge is always directed away from. Note that the electric field is defined for a positive test charge q, so that the field lines point away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.

The electric field strength is exactly proportional to the number of field lines per unit area, since the magnitude of the electric field for a point charge is latexek\fracqr2\\latex and area is proportional to r 2. The number of field lines originating or terminating at a charge is proportional to the magnitude of that charge. Electricity and magnetism african virtual university. Results from laboratory and field testing of nitrate measuring spectrophotometers. In your example, the negative charge is still the source of the field and there is nothing at infinity in your problem.

Field lines always start on the positive charge and end on the negative charge. In this video david explains how to determine the direction of the electric field from positive and negative charges. Draw the electric field lines between two points of the same charge. Describe an electric field diagram of a positive point charge. The number of lines, in 3 dimensions, leaving a positive charge or approaching a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. Electric field lines do not pass through a conductor, this shows that electric field inside a conductor is always zero. Positive charges are the type possessed by protons.
