Question

6 which model shows electric field lines surrounding a positively charged object? a (image of a circle with + and arrows pointing out) b (image of a circle with + and vertical arrows pointing up) c (image of a circle with + and vertical arrows pointing down) d (image of a circle with + and arrows pointing in)

Explanation:

To determine the correct model for electric field lines around a positively charged object, we use the rule: Electric field lines originate from positive charges and point outward (away from the positive charge).

• Option A: The field lines are radiating outward from the positively charged object, which follows the rule.
• Option B: The field lines are parallel and upward, not the radial outward pattern for a point charge.
• Option C: The field lines are pointing downward (toward the object), which is for a negative charge.
• Option D: The field lines are pointing inward (toward the object), which is for a negative charge.

So, the correct model is A.

Answer:

A. The model with electric field lines radiating outward from the positively charged object
