Electromagnetism FAQ

Electric field lines point:

From positive to negative charge. Electric field lines point from positive to negative charge (direction of force on a positive test charge).

Short Answer

From positive to negative charge is the best answer.

Electromagnetism questions become manageable once you separate source, field, potential, current, and force. Most wrong answers mix those layers together or ignore direction.

Electric field lines point from positive to negative charge (direction of force on a positive test charge).

Why This Answer Is Correct

This is a Easy-level question in Electromagnetism. The prompt is really testing whether you can connect the concept to its defining physical relationship instead of picking a nearby-but-wrong term.

Keep charge, field, potential, and current distinct. That single habit fixes a large fraction of electromagnetism errors.

Choices At A Glance

  • A. From negative to positive charge
  • B. From positive to negative charge
  • C. In circles around charges
  • D. Away from all charges

When similar options appear on an exam, eliminate the ones that break the core law, use the wrong units, or confuse a definition with a consequence.
