What is electric lines of force?
electric lines of force are imaginary lines defined by the paths traced by unit charges placed in an electric field. Lines of force are everywhere parallel to the electric field strength vector. Their principal use is as a convenient means of picturing the geometry of an electric field.
Is electric field scalar or vector?
The strength of the electric field is a scalar quantity. But it's the magnitude of thecomplete electric field vector.At any point in space, the electric field vector is the strength of the force, and thedirection in which it points, that would be felt by a tiny positive charge located there.
The strength of an electric field depends on the?
Electric field strength depends on direction and magnitude because it is a vector quantity.
Name two factors that affect the strength of electric force and explain how they affect electric force?
I'm not sure what this question really means - should it be more like "what two things affect the force between two electric charges?" If this is correct then the answer is probably: 1. The amount of charges. 2. The distance between the charges.
What is cobalt's strength of electrostatic force?
The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the electric charge. If you have a block of cobalt - or of just about any other material for that matter - you can put a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge on it; and the charge can be large or small.

Both electric fields and forces decrease in strength as the distance increases?
No. The electric force in this case decreases.

What happens to the electric force when two objects are separated by 1 meter and each has a positive charge when the distance between the objects is doubled?
The electric force will be quarter of its strength.
What two things affect the size of the electric force?
I am not sure but i thinks they are:Positive chargeNegative charge

Differences and similarities between gravitational force and electrostatic force?
Similarities: inverse square law for strength of force both r central forces both are conservative forces both follow principle of superposition Differences gravity attracts electric force electric force can change direction electrostatic force depends on interviening medium
Does an electric field have strength but no direction?
It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.
What is the relationship between an electric force and an electric field?
An electric force is the force on an electric charge or an electrically charged object when immersed in an electric field.
