The strength of the spring is hard to explain. As there is a relationship between the force a spring generates and the distance it travels, so you could have a really stiff spring travel a small amount, or a weak spring travel a greater distance.

Suffice to say it must be able to restore 500g. That is place the test weight on the foil, press it down so the off target light comes on, and then release, the light should not go on on again.

Do yourself a favour and just buy the springs for your point, they usually do not require adjustment, and you can be assured that they are close to the required stiffness, if that is incorrect you can increase the stiffness by pulling the wire until it extends a small amount.

Is electric field strength 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.


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.

Electric field is positive or negative?

Did you mean "The strength of electric field is positive or negative"? Anyway, there is your answer.. The strength of an electric field E at any point is defined as the electric force F exerted per unit positive electric charge q at that point, or E = F/q.You can say that it is positive.

What equation is used to describe the electric strength at a point in space?

The electric field at a point in space is the magnitude and direction of the force that would act on a small test charge if it were located at that point.


How will the electric field strength compare at a 2 m distance point charge?

I don't know. You've neglected to mention what it's to be compared to.


What is the extreme point called on a parabola?

The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.


In which direction does the electric field point at position directly east of a positive charge?

Yes. The electric field in physics is represented by a vector, it has three components governing the field strength in the up-down, left-right and forward-backwards directions.


What are conservative forces?

Gravitational Forces,Magnetic Forces,Spring Forces,Electric Force....... They do not depend on the path followed,they depend on initial and final point of work.
