Question

2.
The direction of the electric field vector is defined as

Answer 1

The direction of the field is defined by the direction of the force it would put on a positive charge. So if it tells you that the force on a positive charge will be in the same direction as the field, but the force on a negative charge will be in the opposite direction.

Answer 2

Answer: F= qE

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric field from a positive charge points away from the charge; the electric field from a negative charge points toward the charge. Like the electric force, the electric field E is a vector. F= qE If q is positive, the force is in the same direction as the field; if q is negative, the force is in the opposite direction as the field.
