Question

For a positive point charge, the electric field vectors point in what direction? a) Point charges cannot create an electric field.

b) Along a circle around it.
c) Toward it.
d) Away from it.
e) None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:d- Away from it

Step-by-step explanation:

For a positive point charge, the electric field vectors point away from the charge. Electric field line radiates out of positive charge and could terminate to a negative charge if it is placed in its vicinity.

Similarly for negative charge electric field lines seems to come inside of negative charge. It is basically opposite of positive charge.
