Question

Now open the simulation. Activate ""grid"" and ""show numbers"" to read values. Place a 1 nC positive (red color) charge on the grid. This is sometimes called a ""source charge"" since it’s the source of the electric field we are going to measure. To make a measurement of electric field, grab an E-field sensor and place it where you want to measure the electric field. The arrow of the sensor indicates the direction of the E-field at that point and the length of the arrow is proportional to the strength of the electric field. Move the sensor around and observe how the electric field is different in magnitude and direction at different locations. Summarize what you observe about how the magnitude of the electric depends on location?

Answer 1

The divergence on the sensor shows the magnitude of the charges

Step-by-step explanation:

This will increase as length increases since it is said to be proportional to the length. note that test charge is always positive and charge on the grid is positive as indicated (1 nC)
