21. Electric Field
Field E relates the electric force F on an object to its charge q
F = qE
Field is a vector

22. Electric field Magnitude is the force in N on a +1 C charge
Direction is the direction of the force exerted on a positive charge
Vectors point away from positive charges and toward negative charges
Unit = N/C

23. Question

The force becomes 1/4 what it was (F/4).
The force becomes 1/2 what it was (F/2).
The force remains the same (F).
The force becomes 2 what it was (2F).
The force becomes 4 what it was (4F).
The force reverses direction (–F).
