Question

Is electric force the opposite in direction of electric field?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. For a negatively charged electron, the electric force is in the opposite direction as the electric field.
2. A negative charge feels a force in the opposite direction of the electric field.
3. Positive charges repelling other positive charges, as a result of this convention, tells us that the electric field begins on a positive charge and points away.
4. The force exerted on the positively charged proton is parallel to the electric field's direction.

Hence, electric force can be the opposite of electric field under specific circumstances.
