Electric Field and Lines of Force Quiz

Electric Fields

• An electric field is a region around a charged particle or object where the force of the electric field can be detected.

Representation of Electric Fields

• Electric fields are represented by electric field lines or lines of force, which emerge from positive charges and enter negative charges.
• The direction of the electric field lines is tangent to the line at any point.

Origin of Electric Field Lines

• Electric field lines originate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
• The number of lines emerging from a positive charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
• Electric field lines can never intersect or cross each other.
