Electric Fields — Quiz

Question 4 • Physics

Which statements about electric field lines are correct? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
They point toward a negative charge.
B
They point away from a positive charge.
C
They point away from a negative charge.
D
They cross over one another between charges.
E
They never cross.
F
They point toward a positive charge.

Explanation

Electric field lines show the direction a positive test charge would move. They point away from positive charges and toward negative charges, so A and B are correct. Field lines cannot cross because the electric field at any point has only one direction; therefore E is correct.
