Given

A positive charge dropped into the middle of the electric field in the picture

To find

Which way the positive charge would move?

Step-by-step explanation

Electric fields move out of a positive charge and into a negative charge.

So charge B is negative and A is positive.

We know like chrge repel like charge and attract unlike charge.

So the positive charge would move towards B.

Conclusion

The correct answer is B. Towards charge B
