Hello!

Answer:

Positive charges in an electric field move in the direction of the electric field.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the electric field exerts a force on positive charges in the same direction as the field.

The force on a positive charge is equal to the charge of the particle multiplied by the strength of the electric field.

The strength of the electric field is measured in volts per meter (V/m). The stronger the electric field, the greater the force exerted on a positive charge.
