  1. Question 1

    Q1. An electric field of 200 N/C exists at a point. What force acts on a +5 μC charge placed there?

    • A) 1×10⁻³ N (opposite field direction)
    • B) 1×10⁻³ N (same field direction)
    • C) 2×10⁻³ N (perpendicular to field)
    • D) 0 N (no movement)

    Answer: 1×10⁻³ N (same field direction)

    Explanation: F = qE. Option A incorrectly assumes negative charge direction.
