Yes, the direction of propagation of a wave emitted from an antenna is generally the same as the direction of the electric field. In an electromagnetic wave, both the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
For a linearly polarized wave, the electric field vectors oscillate in a specific direction (e.g., up and down or left and right) as the wave propagates. The magnetic field vectors oscillate perpendicular to the electric field vectors and also perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. These oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields create an electromagnetic wave that travels through space.
When an antenna radiates an electromagnetic wave, the electric field of the wave is aligned with the direction of the oscillating charge in the antenna. As the wave propagates away from the antenna, the electric field vectors also propagate in the same direction as the wave. Thus, the direction of the electric field and the direction of wave propagation are generally the same.
However, it's worth noting that in some specialized cases, such as certain types of antenna designs or specific radiation patterns, the direction of the electric field may be altered or manipulated. But in the general case, the electric field and wave propagation direction align with each other.
