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?

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

Answer 1

To the right, in the direction of the electric field lines.

Explanation: electric field lines point from positive charges toward negative charges, and a positive charge feels a force in the direction of the field, so it will be attracted toward the negative charge (to the right).
