The total number of electric field lines of forces passing through a unit area is called electric
Correct answer: A. flux.
- A. flux.
- B. field.
- C. intensity.
- D. potential.
Explanation
The correct answer is 'flux.' In electromagnetism, the total number of electric field lines passing through a unit area is referred to as electric flux. This concept helps in understanding the flow of electric field through a surface. The other options like 'field,' 'intensity,' and 'potential' do not specifically define the total number of electric field lines passing through a unit area, making them incorrect choices in this context.

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.
