Magnitude E of the Electric Field

Definition

The magnitude E of the electric field represents how strong an electric field is at a particular point in space. It quantifies how much force would be exerted on a positive test charge placed at that point.

Electric Field Lines: Electric field lines are imaginary lines used to visualize and represent an electric field's direction and strength around charged objects or systems.

Coulomb's Law:

Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Electric Flux: Electric flux is a measure of how much electric field passes through a given area. It depends on both the strength of the electric field and the size and orientation of the area.
