Electric Field Lines Around A Negative Charge

And the electric field direction about a negative source charge is always.

Electric field lines around a negative charge. Field lines around the system of two positive. Field lines of a single position charge points radially outwards while that of a negative charge are radially inwards as shown below in the figure. The lines are defined as pointing radially outward away from a positive charge or radially inward. Electric field lines always point away from a positive charge and towards a negative point.

The start point of the field lines is at the positive charge and end at the negative charge. For the field lines to either start or end at infinity a single charge must be used. Electric field lines attraction and repulsion. Thus the electric field direction about a positive source charge is always directed away from the positive source.

The number of field lines leaving a positive charge or entering a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. The properties of electric field lines for any charge distribution are that. An electric field is a region of space around an electrically charged particle or object in which an electric charge would feel force. Electric field lines never cross each other.

Electric field lines always extend from a positively charged object to a negatively charged object from a positively charged object to infinity or from infinity to a negatively charged object. Electric field lines are most dense around objects with the greatest amount of charge. Field lines must begin on positive charges and terminate on negative charges or at infinity in the hypothetical case of isolated charges.
