Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for electric field strength due to a point charge?

  • E = F/q
  • E = k * (q/r^2)
  • Both of the above

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Consider both force per unit charge and point charge calculations.

Question 2

Is the electric field strength greater or lesser the closer you are to a charge?

  • True
  • False

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about what happens as you approach a charged object.
