Answer:
The direction of the electric field due to the left of +Q charge is leftwards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Electric field at any point is defined as the space surrounded by a charged particle. The relation between the electric force and the electric field is given by :
F = q E
where
q is the electric charge
E is the electric field
The direction of electric field due to a positive charge is in outward direction while the electric field due to a negative charge is inwards.
The direction of electric field is determined by the magnitude of electric charge i.e either the charge is positive or negative.
So, the direction of electric field at a point directly to the left of a positive charge, Q is towards left.
