Electric Field Strength

How does increasing the magnitude of a positive charge affect the electric field it generates?

• It decreases the electric field strength.

• It increases the electric field strength.

• It changes the direction of the electric field.

• It has no effect on the electric field strength.

What is the conventional direction of electric field lines around a negative point charge?

• Pointing away from the charge.

• Pointing towards the charge.

• Parallel to the charge's surface.

• Perpendicular to the charge's surface, but only for positive charges.

When representing electric field strength using field lines, how is an increase in strength typically shown?

• By making the field lines shorter.

• By making the field lines thicker.

• By increasing the density of the field lines.

• By changing the color of the field lines.

What is the relationship between the net electric charge creating an electric field and the strength of that field?

• They are inversely proportional.

• They are directly proportional.

• They are unrelated.

• The electric field strength is constant regardless of the charge.
