A positively charged object is placed within a positive electric field.

What happens to the object?

It will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.

It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field.

The correct answer is it will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.

Explanation:

An electric field contain two electrodes positive charged electrode or anode and negative charged electrode or cathode. These 2 electrodes cathode and anode are connected by an electric wire to a battery and this whole system is linked to a electric system.

When electric current is applied oxidation reaction occur in anode and reduction reaction occur in cathode.

Now according to the question if a positively charged object is placed within a positive electric field then pushes the positively charged object away from itself because we all know that positively charged ion reflect another positively charged ion.
