If you put a charged object in an electric field, what will happen to it? In Which direction will it move?
Best answer:
Answer by Scott
Well, both types of fields are similar in that their strength falls off proportionally with the distance squared.
They're different in that gravity is always an attractive force, while an electric field can cause either a repulsive or an attractive force.
A charged particle in a non-uniform electric field will either move towards or away from the source of the field, depending on the whether the particle has a positive or a negative charge.
