If a force of 2 N is applied on charge of 3 Coulomb, the electric field becomes _.
Correct answer: B. 2/3 N/C
- A. 3/2 N/C
- B. 2/3 N/C
- C. 1/2 N/C
- D. None of these
Explanation
E = F/q F = 2 N , q = 3 C So , electric field = 2N / 3C

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
