Question

the magnitude of electrostatic force experienced by a charged particle in an electrostatic field depends on
1)charge of the particle

2) mass of the particle

3) velocity of the particle

4) both 1 and 2​

Answer 1

CHARGE of particle (Option 1)

The general expression of force experienced by a static charge in a uniform electrostatic field is given as :

$\boxed{F = E \times q}$

• Here , F is force , E is field intensity, and q is the charge magnitude.

So, the force depends on 2 parameters:

• CHARGE
• Electrostatic field intensity.

When field intensity is constant, we can say:

$\boxed{F \propto q}$

So, option 1) is correct.
