The electric field lines for a positive charge is always directed away from the charge. True or False?

• True

• False

When two objects have opposite charge (+ and -), they are:

• Attracted to each other

• Repelled by each other

• Have no effect on each other

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.
