Question and options

The force (F) experienced by a charge q situated in an electric field of strength (E) is given by
  1. F=qEF = qE
  2. F=q2EF = q^2E
  3. F=E/qF = E/q
  4. F=kE28πF = \frac{kE^2}{8\pi}

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - \(F = qE\)
By definition electric field is force per unit charge, E=F/qE = F/q, so F=qEF = qE.
