Question

In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a positive charge

Answer 1

Field lines always point away from the positive side of a magnet. So i would say east but im not to sure

Answer 2

Answer: Towards East

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of the electric force per unit charge i.e. the electric field is given by the direction of motion of positive test charge under the electric force. The field lines are directed radially outwards for a positive charge and radially inwards for a negative charge.

Thus, the electric field points towards East for the position directly east of a positive charge
