Questions and Answers

How does an electric field affect the movement of charges?

  • An electric field decelerates charges in the direction of the field
  • An electric field does not affect the movement of charges
  • An electric field accelerates charges in the direction of the field (correct)
  • An electric field moves charges perpendicular to the direction of the field

What is the relationship between electric field and current?
