Question

The space surrounding an electric charge q in which another charge q₀ experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called:

Options

• The electric dipole moment of the charge q

• The electric flux of the charge q

• The electric potential of the charge q

• The electric field of the charge q

Answer 1

By definition, the space surrounding an electric charge q in which another charge q₀ experiences an electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion is called the electric field of the charge q. This force arises due to the modification of space by the source charge.
