Question

Electric field lines around a positively charged particle - repel the particle. - attract the particle. - point toward the particle. - point away from the particle.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the charge is positive, field lines point radially away from it; if the charge is negative, field lines point radially towards it. Electric field of positive point charge: The electric field of a positively charged particle points radially away from the charge.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given a point charge, or a particle of infinitesimal size, that contains a certain charge, electric field lines emanate from equally in all radial directions. If the point charge is positive, field lines point away from it; if the charge is negative, field lines point toward it
