Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple subparts, we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining sub-parts solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.

The electric field is defined as electric force per unit charge. Now as force is a vector quantity and charge, a scalar, the electric field would be a vector quantity. The direction of a vector field is the direction a small positive charge would move in. This means, that the electric field is always directed away from a positive charge, and towards the negative charge
