Which statements about electric field lines are correct? Check all that apply.They point toward a positive charge.They point toward a negative charge.They point away from a positive charge.They point away from a negative charge.They cross over one another between charges.They never cross.
Answer
A
They point toward a positive charge.
B
They point toward a negative charge.
C
They point away from a positive charge.
D
They point away from a negative charge.
E
They cross over one another between charges.
F
They never cross.
Explanation
Electric field lines show the direction a positive test charge would move. They point away from positive charges and toward negative charges, so B and C are correct. Field lines never cross because the electric field at any point has only one direction; crossing lines would imply two directions at the same point.
