The video tutorial explains the concept of a positive charge represented by a red sphere and its surrounding electric field lines depicted in blue. It introduces a test charge, shown as a black point, and discusses the electric field vector acting on it due to the positive charge. The tutorial further demonstrates the movement of the test charge around the positive charge, highlighting how the electric field changes as the test charge is moved closer or further away.
