Question
Which of the following factors determine(s) the force exerted on a charged body in an electric field? I. charge of the body; II. strength or intensity of the field; III. distance between the two charges
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Once the field E already exists at a location, the force on a charge placed there is simply F = qE - determined by the body's own charge (I) and the local field strength (II). Distance is already 'baked into' the field strength at that point, so III is not an independent factor here.
