Q. Explain Electric Field, Electric Field Intensity Field Line.

Open in App

Solution

We may define Electric field due to a given charge as the space around the charge in which electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion due to the charge can be experienced by any other charge.
The electric field intensity at any point is the strength of electric field at that point. It is defined as the force experienced by unit positive charge placed at that point.
We may define electric field line as a path straight or curved, such that tangent to it any point gives the direction of electric field intensity at that point.
