CASE STUDY

Read the following text and answer the questions Electric Field: The electric field is defined as the space surrounding by a charge in which all other test charge would experience force. It is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the vector is the electric field intensity, which is defined as the force per unit charge. Additionally, electric field strength is proportional to the density of lines of force i.e., electric field strength at a point is proportional to the number of lines of force cutting a unit area element placed normal to the field at that point. The  direction of the field is considered to be the same as the direction of the force, and it is expected to exert on a positive test charge. When the electric field is radially outward, then it is considered as a positive charge, and when the electric field is radially inward, then it is considered as a negative charge. The SI unit of the electric field is volt per meter.
