Electric potential when there is a negative test charge?

samedi 1 mars 2014

For when there is a negative test charge:



The work done to get from infinity to r would be negative, corresponding to a decrease in potential energy so



since dr must be a path element and therefore in the negative direction (towards the source of the E field)



does that mean the direction of the force I apply would be towards infinity?
