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.
A what will move in the direction of the arrows on the electric field lines?
positive charge
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.
How do you compare and contrast the electrical field around a negative charge and the electric field around a positive charge?
Around a positive charge we have a repulsive field and around negative charge we have an attractive field.
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.

Compare and contrast The Electric Field Around The Negative Charge And The Electric Field Around A Positive Charge?
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.

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)

Around a positive charge we have a repulsive field and around negative charge we have an attractive field.
What is is true about electric field around an electric charge?
Everything. A positive charged particle generates an electric field equivalent to the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to near that charge.
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.
Do electric fields point outward or inward?
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.
What will be the effect on the motion of electron if it travels along the dirction of electric field?
The "direction" of the electric field is defined as the direction of the force it exerts on a small positive charge. The direction of the force on an electron in the field is exactly opposite to the direction of the field, and its effect is to accelerate the electron in the direction of the force.
What has positive electrical charge?
A proton has a positive electric charge.
What are the kinds of electric charge?
The kinds of electric charge are positive charge and negative charge
