Question

What is the relationship between the electric field strength at a point and its distance from the source charge?

Answer 1

Electric field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from the source.

The larger the distance, the smaller the field, but the smaller the distance from the source, the higher the field.

Answer 2

The relationship between the electric field strength at a point and its distance from the source charge is inversely proportional. As the electric field strength increases the charges are more closer to each other which means the distance between the is smaller. It is seen by the equation:

E = (1/4*pi*epsilon0) (Q/r^2)
