Question

Which of the following best describe an electric force field?

• A. the space around a charged particle where other charged particles will experience a force
• B. strong enough to protect a space station
• C. transfers electric charge from one particle to another
• D. only exists if two charged particles are near each other
• E. Its always perpendicular to force acting at charge

Answer 1

The correct option is A the space around a charged particle where other charged particles will experience a force

Electric force field is the space around charged particles where other charged particles will experience a force.

The force on a charge in an electric field is given by $\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{E}$

By convention, the electric field lines point away from positively charged species and towards the negatively charged species.
