Electric Fields

Question 1

Coulomb’s law

Answer 1

The electrostatic force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Question 2

Electric field strength

Answer 2

The Electric field strength at a point in a field is the force which is exerted on a unit positive charge placed in the field

Question 3

Electric Potential

Answer 3

The electric potential at any point in an electric field is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point
