Question

Which of the following is true for the direction of an electric field?It is same as the direction of the force exerted on a negative test charge.It is opposite to the direction of the force exerted on a positive test charge.It is same as the direction of the force exerted on a positive test charge.It is opposite to the direction of the force exerted on a neutral test charge

Answer 1

Take into account that by definition, electric force over a positive charge has the same direction that electric field. For negative charge, electric force is opposite to the electric field.

Then, based on the previous description, the following statement is true:

It is same as the direction of the force exerted on a positive test charge.
