Question

a positively charged object is placed to the left of a negatively charged object. which best describes how the positively charged object will move?
o to the left, in the direction of the electric field lines
to the right, in the direction of the electric field lines
up in the direction that the field lines bend away
down in the direction that the field lines bend away

Explanation:

1. Recall the rules of electric charges and electric field lines: Opposite charges attract, and electric field lines point from positive to negative charges.
2. A positively charged object will experience a force in the direction of the electric field lines. Since the positive object is to the left of the negative object, the electric field lines go from the positive (left) to the negative (right). So the positive object will move towards the negative object (to the right), following the direction of the electric field lines.

Answer:

B. to the right, in the direction of the electric field lines
