Question

in which direction does the electric field point at a position directly west of a positive charge?
a. east
b. north
c. south
d. west

Explanation:

The electric field direction is defined as the direction a positive test charge would move. For a positive charge, the electric field lines radiate outward. If we are at a position directly west of a positive charge, the electric field (outward - away from the positive charge) would point away from the positive charge. So it would point east.

Answer:

A. East
