Question

Which factor indicates the amount of charge on the source charge?

A.the number of field lines on the test charge
B.the number of field lines on the source charge
C.the direction of lines on the source charge
D.the direction of lines on the test charge

Answer 1

B. The number of field lines on the source charge.

Answer 2

B. the number of field lines on the source charge

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that electric flux is defined as the number of electric field lines passing through a given area.

So here electric flux due to a point charge "q" is given by

`\phi = (q)/(\epsilon_0)`

so here we know that flux depends on the magnitude of charge and hence we can say that number of filed lines originating from a point charge will depends on the magnitude of the charge.

so here correct answer will be

B. the number of field lines on the source charge
