It is observed that Balloon A is charged negatively. Balloon B exerts a repulsive effect upon balloon A. Would the electric field vector created by balloon B be directed towards B or away from B and why?

• towards because electric field lines point away from negative charges
• towards because electric field lines point away from positive charges
• away because electric field lines point away from negative charges
• away because electric field lines point toward positive charges
