Which statement best describes the electric fields in the image?

• The charges are neutral.

• Both charges are negative, so the field lines are alike.

• The field lines move toward a positive charge and away from a negative charge.

• The field lines move away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.

Where can an electric field be found?

• below a force field

• in a gravitational field

• in the space surrounding a charged object

• outside of a magnetic field
