Question

A free negative charge released in an electric field will

Answer 1

Answer:

Will experience a force due to electric field.

Explanation:

• When a free negative charge is released in an electric field it experiences a force due to the electric field in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.

According to Coulomb's law this force is mathematically given as:

$F=E.q$

and, electric field due to a charge is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}.\frac{q}{r^2}$

where:

permittivity of free space$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2$

q = magnitude of charge

r = radial distance from the charge
