Electric Charges and Fields

Question:

Magnitude of electric field due to a point charge +Q experienced by a test charge q at a distance r from the point charge +Q is equal to:

Options:

Magnitude of dielectric force experienced by the point charge/Q

Magnitude of electric force experienced by the test charge/q

Magnitude of repulsive force between the point charge and the test charge

Magnitude of electric force experienced by point charge Q multiplied by the magnitude of charge on the test charge

Correct Answer:

Magnitude of electric force experienced by the test charge/q

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Magnitude of electric force experienced by the test charge/q

$E=\frac{F}{q}$

Hence option (2) is the correct.
