What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its in the file^

OpenStudy (oneowone):

I believe its strongest near the charge itself. As it gets far away from the charge it gets a bit weaker.

OpenStudy (oneowone):

You could say the field is strongest at the charge or really near it, since the field becomes weaker as the distance from that field(r) increases.

thanks could you take a look at this one too?

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

@OneOwOne : You're correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shiraz14 do you know the second one i just posted here?

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

For the second question, the north magnetic pole of the compass will point towards the north magnetic pole of the Earth which is in fact the South pole of the Earth's magnetic field.

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

You can see this from the field lines which terminate at the "North" magnetic pole (aka the South pole of the Earth's magnetic field).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow thanks :) i have one last question give it a look?

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

This might be a little too complicated to explain in here - you may refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanometer for a detailed treatment of this subject.
