Concept explainers
The vectors for the gravitational field of Earth point toward Earth; the vectors for the electric field of a proton point away from the proton. Explain.
To explain: The vectors for the gravitational field of Earth point toward Earth; the vectors for the electric field of a proton point away from the proton.
Explanation of Solution
The Gravitational field creates attractive force to the nearby object with mass. The electric field of positive charged particle is outward because it repels other like charged particle away. Since positive charge particle is experience force in the direction of electric field. So the depiction of electric field lines from a positive charged proton is outward from it.
