A positively charged object is placed to the left of a negatively charged object. Which best describes how the positively charged object will move?

Electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges. A positively charged object feels a force in the direction of the electric field, so it moves toward the negatively charged object, which is to its right. Therefore, the best choice is “to the right, in the direction of the electric field lines.”
