Chapter 33, Problem 6A
How is the strength of an electric field indicated with field lines?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The strength of an electric field indicated with field lines
Explanation of Solution
The strength of electric field at a point can be depicted by the number of lines passing at a point. Lots of closely space lines show strong electric field, whereas a few widely spaced lines mean a weak electric field.
