Question
The electric field at a point is defined as:
- The electric force per unit charge experienced by a unit charge at that point.
- The electric force experienced by two charges at that point.
- The electric force experienced by a dipole at that point.
- The electric force experienced by a charge at that point.
Hint:
Electric field can be considered as an electric property associated with each point in the space where a charge is present in any form. An electric field is also described as the electric force per unit charge. The formula of electric field is given as; E = F /Q.
The correct answer is: The electric force per unit charge experienced by a unit charge at that point.
An electric field (sometimes E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system of charged particles
