Questions and Answers

What is the formula to calculate the electric field intensity?

E = (Q / k * r^2)

E = (r^2 / k) * Q

E = (k * r^2) / Q

E = k * (Q / r^2) (correct)

In which direction does an electric field point around a positive point charge?

Perpendicular to the charge

Toward the charge

Away from the charge (correct)

Parallel to the charge

What happens to the electric field between two parallel plates when the distance between the plates increases?

The electric field strengthens

The electric field remains unchanged

The electric field weakens (correct)

The electric field becomes zero

Study Notes

Electric Field Intensity

The formula to calculate the electric field intensity is not provided, but it is commonly denoted as E and measured in units of Newtons per Coulomb (N/C).

Electric Field Direction

Around a positive point charge, the electric field points radially outward from the charge.
Around a negative point charge, the electric field points radially inward towards the charge.

Electric Field Between Parallel Plates

When the distance between two parallel plates increases, the electric field between the plates decreases.

Electric Field Strength

The SI unit of electric field strength is Newtons per Coulomb (N/C).
When the distance from a point charge is doubled, the electric field strength decreases by a factor of four (1/4).
