A Point charge produces an electric field in room. What is its direction?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the direction of the electric field produced by a point charge in a room, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Electric Field**: The electric field (E) produced by a point charge is a vector field that represents the force experienced by a unit positive charge placed in the field. 2. **Identify the Type of Point Charge**: ...
