Question

State and apply the relation between electric force and electric field.

Answer 1

Answer:

The following is the relation between electric force and field

$Electric Field = Electric Force / charge$

Explanation:

Electric force is the magnitude of electrostatic forces between two charges which is directly proportional to product of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

$F=k*q1*q2/r^2$

Here k is the coulumb's constant.

Where as the electric field is the electric force per unit charge. It is the function of electric force. It is the vector quantity and its direction is taken radially inward or outward depending on the nature of charge.

Its equation is

Electric Field $E=F/q$

Electric Field units are in volts where as Electric force units are newtons.
