Question

The force experienced by a charge placed in an electric field of strength E is given by: a. F=q/E b,F=E/q c,F=qE d,F=E-q

Answer 1

• c) F = qE

Step-by-step explanation:

The force (F) experienced by a charge (q) when placed in an electric field of strength (E) is the product of the magnitude of the charge and the electric field strength.

In vector form, we can write this electric force as:

• 
  `\sf \vec{F }= q \vec{E}`

Also, If q is positive, the force is in the same direction as the field and if q is negative, the force is in the opposite direction as the field.
