An isolated point, positive charge:
18.7 Electric Field Lines
18.7 Electric Field Lines
Electric field lines are always directed away from positive
charges.
Electric field of a negative
point charge
Electric field of a negative
point charge
The electric field lines are directed radially inward toward a
negative point charge.
Electric field between two
parallel plates
Electric Dipole
An electric dipole consists of two separated point charges
that have the same magnitude but opposite signs.

Electric Dipole
An electric dipole consists of two separated point charges
that have the same magnitude but opposite signs.
Many molecules, such as H2O and HCl, have dipole moments.

Electric field lines of a dipole
Electric field lines of a dipole
Electric field lines always begin on a positive charge and end on a
negative charge. The number of lines leaving a positive charge or
entering a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the
charge.
