[amp_mcq option1=”away from the charge” option2=”towards the charge” option3=”both (A) and (B)” option4=”none of the above” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. away from the charge.
A positive charge creates an electric field that points away from the charge. This is because positive charges have a net outward electric field. The electric field lines point from positive charges to negative charges.
Option B is incorrect because the electric field lines point away from the charge, not towards it.
Option C is incorrect because the electric field lines only point away from the charge, not both away from and towards the charge.
Option D is incorrect because the electric field lines do point away from the charge.
