## Step 1The electric field is a vector field that represents the force that a positive test charge would experience at any point in the field. The direction of the electric field is always from the positive charge towards the negative charge. ## Step 2This is because electric fields point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate. A positive charge will repel another positive charge and attract a negative charge. ## Step 3Therefore, the direction of the electric field is always away from positive charges and towards negative charges.
