- We define the "direction"of an electric field to be the direction of the force it exerts on a positive test charge placed in the field. So if there is some charge inside a shell, the field outside the shell points outward if the charge inside is positive, and inward if the charge inside is negative.

Electric field is positive or negative?
Did you mean "The strength of electric field is positive or negative"? Anyway, there is your answer.. The strength of an electric field E at any point is defined as the electric force F exerted per unit positive electric charge q at that point, or E = F/q.You can say that it is positive.
In which direction does the electric field point at position directly east of a positive charge?
Yes. The electric field in physics is represented by a vector, it has three components governing the field strength in the up-down, left-right and forward-backwards directions.
What is a lens that refracts light inward toward a point?
It is a convex lens.

Can two electric field lines be drawn at a point?
No, if two electric field lines are drawn at a point, this would meant two directions of electric field at that point which is impossible.

Do electric field lines radiate outward like spokes on a wheel?
Only from a point charge, or from one with spherical symmetry.
