Homework Statement
There is a negative point charge between 2 oppositely charged plates. Positive at top and negative at bottom. The electric field runs downwards from pos to neg.
In which direction is the electric field of the point charge.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I have calculated the value of the electric field and have a positive result. Does this mean that the electric field of the point charge goes upwards because the negative value of the point charge is attracted towards the positive plate.
Any help with field directions would be greatly appreciated.
