Observation:-
19
The electric field of a point charge is, like any
electric field, a vector field that represents the
effect that the point charge has on other charges
around it. The effectis felt as a force, and when
charged particles are not inmotion, this force is
known as the electrostatic force.
The electrostatic force is, much like gravity, a force
thatacts at a distance. Therefore, we rationalize
this action at a distance by saying that charges
create fields around them that have effects on
other charges.
Given a point charge, or a particle of infinitesimal
sizethat contains a certain charge, electric field
lines

20
emanate radially in all directions. If the charge is
positive, field lines point radially away from it; if
the charge is negative, field lines point radially
towards it.

Conclusion:- Thus, we have studied the

effects onelectric Field Lines due to Point
Charge.
