Displacement of positive and negative charges in a conductor by an electric field produces

Correct answer: A. electric flux.

  • A. electric flux.
  • B. magnetic flux.
  • C. electric dipole.
  • D. magnetic intensity.

Explanation

When positive and negative charges in a conductor are displaced by an electric field, it creates electric flux. This is because the movement of charges generates an electric field, which in turn leads to the flow of electric flux. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly result from the displacement of charges by an electric field.

About Electric Field

An electric field is the force experienced per unit positive test charge, with the field of a point charge given by E = kQ/r² and directed away from positive charges or toward negative charges. Questions involve field lines, superposition and force on a charge, while electric field must be distinguished from electric potential.
