Question
In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly east of a negative charge?A.SouthB.NorthC.WestD.EastSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The electric field always points from positive to negative charges. Therefore, if you are directly east of a negative charge, the electric field would point towards the negative charge. So, the electric field would point to the West. The answer is C. West.
