Number of electric lines of force passing throug a certain area is known as:
Correct answer: B. Electric flux
- A. Electric field
- B. Electric flux
- C. Electric intensity
- D. Gravitational field
Explanation
SHOULD be B)A: An electric field is defined as any region around a charge in which an electric test charge would experience an electric force B: Electric Flux is the measure of the number of lines of force that pass through an area in an electric field.C: The intensity of an electric field at any point is the force per unit positive test charge placed at a pointD: Gravitational field is the field of force surrounding a body of finite mass in which another body would experience an attractive force that is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

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.
