Exam-style question
Try this first
If a charge of 2 C experiences a force of 10 N in an electric field, calculate the electric field strength. Scenario focus: potential gradients in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The electric field strength is 5 N/C.
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is The electric field strength is 5 N/C.. This is correct for Electric fields because the stem is testing potential gradients; 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.
