The field at a point is found using a test charge q. How does the field depend on q?
ADoubles when q doubles
BHalves when q doubles
CIt does not depend on q
DVaries as q squared
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It does not depend on q
Force on a test charge is proportional to q, so the ratio F/q is fixed by the charges producing the field.
