Question

A Force F is put on a test charge Q by an electric field. What is the strength of the electric field at that location?

• A. $\frac{Q}{F}$
• B. $\frac{F}{Q}$
• C. $FQ$
• D. $F{Q}^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{F}{Q}$

Let the strength of electric field at the location of test charge be $E$.

Using $F=QE$ $⟹E=\frac{F}{Q}$
