The force experienced by a unit positive test charge placed at a point is called Correct Answer The electrical field at that point

CONCEPT:

  • Magnetic field: A magnet forms an area of the magnetic field by its magnetic force.

    • Moving electric charges can also create its magnetic field.

  • Gravitational field: The space surrounded by a body, in which another body experiences force of gravitational attraction.

  • Electric field: The space surrounded by a charged particle, in which it applies an electrostatic force on another object.


EXPLANATION:

  • When a test charge comes in the electric field of any charged particle, the force of electrostatic attraction or repulsion is applied to the test charge.
