Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about electric field lines is true?
Correct Answer: Electric field lines point from positive to negative charges.
  • Step 1: Understand what electric field lines are. They are imaginary lines that represent the direction of the electric field around charged objects.
  • Step 2: Know that electric field lines start at positive charges. This means they point away from positive charges.
  • Step 3: Recognize that electric field lines end at negative charges. This means they point towards negative charges.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the direction of electric field lines shows how a positive test charge would move in the field.
