Question

Which of the given physical quantities is/are vector? Choose the most suitable option.

  1. Electric force
  2. Electric field strength
  3. Electric charge
  4. Electric Force and Electric field strength

hintHint:

Electric charge is a scalar quantity.

The correct answer is: Electric Force and Electric field strength


    • Electric force is a vector quantity (forces act in a direction).
    • Electric field strength is a vector quantity.
    • Electric charge is a scalar quantity.
    • Therefore, the most suitable option is both electric force and electric field strength are vector quantities.

    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.
