Class 12 Physics (India): Electric field direction
Description
The direction of an electrical field at a point is the same as the direction of the electrical force acting on a positive test charge at that point. For example, if you place a positive test charge in an electric field and the charge moves to the right, you know the direction of the electric field in that region points to the right.
Class 12 Physics (India)
It is now time to dive deeper into the world of physics with topics from class 12 (NCERT) such as electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and electromagnetic waves. Let's also learn more about light with ray optics and wave optics. Finally, let's look at what happened in the last hundred years of physics by gett…
