Question

What is the definition of the magnitude of the electric field E in terms of the magnitude of a test charge q and the magnitude of the force on the test charge F?

Answer 1

E = F/q

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric Field (E) : Electric Field (E) of an electrostatic field is defined as the force (F), per unit test charge (q) which it exert at that point. Its direction is that of the force exerted on a positive charge. The S.I unit of Electric field is Newtons per coulombs. (N/C).

Electric Field (E) can be expressed mathematically as,

E = F/q

Where F = Electrostatic force (Newton), q = charge (coulombs), E = Electric field.
