Conclusion
In the activity, a simulation was used to determine and further grasp the concept of electric
field. As observed in the simulation, it is concluded that the magnitude of an electric field is
dependent on its location, and it decreases as the distance between a point and the charge increases.
To put it simply, the electric field intensity of a point lowers as it moves away from a certain
charge. While the closer a point gets to a specific charge, the more its magnitude increases. It also
can be concluded that a positive charge will produce a radially outward electric field, while a
negative point charge produces a radially inward electric field. An electric field created by a
positive source charge would also repel a positive test charge and therefore its electric field vector
would always face away from positively charged objects. On the other hand, A negative source
charge would attract a positive test charge and as a result, the electric field vector will always point
in the direction of negatively charged objects.
