Lionel makes a graphic organizer to compare the electric field around a positive charge with the electric field around a negative charge.



A venn diagram with two intersecting circles. The circle on the left is labeled electric field A round positive charge. The circle on the right is labeled electric field A round negative charge. There is an X in the left circle. There is a Z in the right circle. The is a Y in the intersecting circle.
Which labels belong in regions X, Y, and Z?

X: Points away from the charge
Y: Points in the direction of the force on the positive charge
Z: Points toward the charge
X: Points away from the charge
Y: Points in the direction of the force on the negative charge
Z: Points toward the charge
X: Points toward the charge
Y: Points in the direction of the force on the positive charge
Z: Points away from the charge
X: Points toward the charge
Y: Points in the direction of the force on the negative charge
Z: Points away from the charge

Answer: the first option.

X — Points away from the charge (field of a positive charge is radially outward)
Y — Points in the direction of the force on a positive charge (electric field by definition gives the force on a positive test charge)
Z — Points toward the charge (field of a negative charge is radially inward)
