Question

(15 POINTS)Which best describes the electric field created by a positive charge?

It circles clockwise around the charge.
It circles counterclockwise around the charge.
Its rays point away from the charge.
Its rays point toward the charge.

Answer 1

I would go with C. It's ray point away from the charge.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is "Its rays point away from the charge".

Explanation:

Electric field is the surrounding of the charge in which the electric force can be experienced.

The expression of the electric force in terms of charge and the electric field is as follows;

F=qE

Here, q is the charge and E is the electric field.

The direction of the electric field of a positive charge is away from the charge.

The direction of the electric field of a negative charge is towards the charge.

Therefore, the electric field created by a positive charge describes its rays point towards the charge.
