When a charge experience a force, there will be a _ field developed.
Correct answer: B. Electric
- A. Magnetic
- B. Electric
- C. Static
- D. All of these options are correct
- E. Both A and B
Explanation
The correct answer is Electric (Option B). An electric field is created around a charge, and when that charge experiences a force, it is due to the influence of this electric field. A magnetic field, on the other hand, is produced by moving charges, and therefore does not apply in this context. 'Static' refers to charges that are not in motion, and while they can create electric fields, the question specifically relates to the force experienced by a charge. Thus, the other options do not accurately reflect the relationship between force and the fields generated by charges.

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.
