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.

∙ 9y agoThe direction in which a free isolated charge is driven is taken as the direction of electric field at that point.

The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge

If you place a charge into an electric field it will move in the direction indicated by the electric field lines?
it will occure if the charge is positive, other wise it will move to opposite direction.
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
A what will move in the direction of the arrows on the electric field lines?
positive charge
What is difference between current and electricfield?
the direction of current is the direction of electrons move. the dirction of electric field can be negative to positive
How does electric current travel?
the flow of electrons in a metal is called electric current . the conventional direction of electric current is shown from positive pole to negative pole
A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)

What direction will an electric current flow?
from positive terminal to negative terminal

Positive charges feel the urge to follow the direction of the electric... whats the next word?
field
What is an object that moves with constant position?
An object that moves with constant position will have constant velocity or acceleration. This is said to be moving in positive direction and maintains the position.
The flow of current in electrodes is in which direction?
The ELECTRONS flow from the negative to the positive terminal. But it is considered that the electric current flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
Electric field lines point in the opposite direction charges would move if they were in the field?
positive
An electric field has?
An electric field has both magnitude and direction and can be represented by lines of force, or field lines, that start on positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
