Question

A test charge is introduced into the electric field of a charge. It feels a force of 2 F where the electric feild is 4 E. What would the force on the test charge be where the electric feild is 1 E

Answer 1

0.5 F

Step-by-step explanation:

since electric field is defined as force per charge!

so, force on test charge is directly proportional to electric field

here new electric field becomes 1/4 of old one

i.e, 4E-->1E

so force is also will become 1/4 of old one

i.e, 2F--> 1/4 × 2F =0.5 F
