The electric field exists in 3-dimensional space. We only show
the field arrows in a plane containing the point charge. A full
3-dimensional arrow representation of the electric field of of point charges
looks messy.
Charge A can be positive or negative and Charge B can be
zero, positive or negative. Both charges can be placed at different
positions on the x-axis.
To produce and arrow pointing in the direction of the electric field with a
length proportional to the electric field strength at some position, click the
position.
The units of charge are 10 nC, the units of distance are m and the
units of field strenhth ar N/C.
