A gravitational field vector points toward the Earth; an electric field vector points to-
ward an electron.
Why do electric field vectors point away
from protons?

Explanation:

You can find the direction of electric field by finding the direction of force acting on test small +ve charge put in the field:

When you put +ve charge next to protons, the force on +ve charge is pointed away from protons, because like charge repel
