Exam-style question
Try this first
A charge of -2 μC is placed in an electric field of strength 5000 N/C. Calculate the force experienced by the charge. Scenario focus: magnetic fields in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.
- A.-10 N
- B.10 N
- C.-100 N
- D.100 N
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- -10 N
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is -10 N. This is correct for Electric fields because the stem is testing magnetic fields; the chosen option keeps the field quantity, source interaction, direction, and unit consistent.
The alternatives are weaker because they mix gravitational, electric, magnetic, orbital, or transformer ideas, or they attach the right number to the wrong physical meaning.
