Question

The electric field of a source charge Q.....
Select all that are True.
is a vector.
is not a vector.
points away from the source charge Q if Q is negative.
points in the opposite direction as the electric force if the test charge q is positive, and the same direction of the electric force if the test charge q is negative.
exerts an electric force on charges.
points away from the source charge Q if Q is positive.
points in the same direction as the electric force if the test charge q is positive, and the opposite direction of the electric force if the test charge q is negative.

Explanation / Answer

Electric Field by charge Q is defined by coulombic force acting on unit positive charge due to Q.

Is a Vector = True

I not a vector = False

Points away from the source charge Q if Q is negative = False

Points in the opposite direction as the electric force if the test charge q is positive, and the same direction of the electric force if the test charge q is negative = False [As F=qE]

Exerts an electric force on charges = True

Points away from the source charge Q if Q is positive = True

Points in the same direction as the electric force if the test charge q is positive, and the opposite direction of the electric force if the test charge q is negative. = True [As F=qE]
