a) away from the positive test charge b) toward the positive test charge c) in such a way as to show the direction of the field d) radiating outward like spikes on a wheel a) away from the positive test charge b) toward the positive test charge c) in such a way as to show the direction of the field d) radiating outward like spikes on a wheel

Explanation / Answer

a) away from the positive test charge

C) to show direction of the field

Both are correct as The direction of the electric field is always directed in the direction that a positive test charge would be pushed or pulled if placed in the space surrounding the source charge.And also these electric field lines tells the direction along which positive charge will accelerate .

So both options are correct
