In which direction does the electric field point at a position directly south of a positive charge?
a. east
b. south
c. west
d. north

B. South

Explanation:

An electric field can be defined as the amount of electric force per unit charge. The direction of the electric field can be determined by the motion of a positive test charge under the electric force.

The direction of electric field is radially outward for a positive charge and radially inward for a negative charge. Thus, for the electric field points toward SOUTH at a position directly south of a positive charge.
