Question 13 • Physics

An electric field is represented by the force on which particle?

Answer
A
a dipole
B
a positive test charge
C
a neutron
D
a negative test charge

Explanation

An electric field is defined as the force per unit positive test charge placed at a point. A dipole has both positive and negative charges, while a neutron has no net charge; a negative test charge would feel a force in the opposite direction to the field. The correct choice is a positive test charge.
