Question

An electric field is most directly related to:

a.
the charge carried by a test charge


b.
the kinetic energy of a test charge


c.
the potential energy of a test charge


d.
the momentum of a test charge


e.
the force acting on a test charge

Answer 1

The electric field created by a test charge can be calculated using the formula

E = kq/(r^2)

The magnitude of the charge and the distance away from the charge determine its electric field strength,

And the charge carried is one of your options.

Answer: A) the charge carried
