Question

Experimenter A uses a test charge q0 and experimenter B uses atest charge 2q0 to measure an electric field produced by stationerycharges. A finds a field that is;
(a) either greater or less than the field found by B,depending on the masses of the test charges
(b) greater than the field found by B
(c) either greater or less than the field found by B,depending on the accelerations of the test charges
(d) less than the field found by B
(e) the same as the field found by B

Answer 1

Answer:

(e) the same as the field found by B

Explanation:

Stationary charge produce same electric field at a particular location irrespective of the magnitude of the test charge. Electric field produced by a stationary charge "q" at a distance "r" from it is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^{2}}$

so the correct choice is given as

(e) the same as the field found by B
