Question

A test charge may be of any magnitude.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

False

The correct answer is 'False'.


    • A test charge is taken positive and small in magnitude, and not of any magnitude.
    • The magnitude of the electric field strength is defined as force exerted per unit of charge on the test charge (E=F/q).
    • So, the given statement is false.

    A ________ charge shows the direction of electric force at a point due to a charged body.

    • A test charge is a charge with a magnitude so small that placing it at a point has a negligible affect on the field around the point.
    • A positive test charge is a unit positive charge which is used to determine the strength and direction of an electric field.

    The electric force ___________ on the medium between the charges.

    • K= 1/4πε
    • The value of k depends on the electric permittivity of the medium (ε).
    • And the electric permittivity of a medium (ε) depends on the nature of the medium.
    • Therefore, the value of K is different for different medium.
    • Hence, the electrostatic force depends on the medium between the two charges.
