The magnitude of the test charge must be small enough so that it does not disturb the distribution of the charges whose electric field we wish to measure otherwise the measured field will be different from the actual field.

Why do a test charge be of negligible small magnitude?

A test charge should be of negligible small magnitude to minimize its disturbance on the electric field being measured. This ensures that the presence of the test charge does not significantly alter the field or the behavior of other charges within it, allowing for more accurate measurements and calculations.


How much should you charge to trim a tree?

it depends on the size of the tree if its a HUGE tree then charge more but if its a smaller one charge less


How many electrons should be placed on one side of a seesaw to balance it if the other side has proton on it?

A single electron placed on the opposite side of a seesaw from a proton would balance it. This is because the charge of a proton (+1) is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to the charge of an electron (-1).


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.


How much should I charge for medical billing?

I should charge 5%


Can an electric charge be positive?

When a process of oxidation takes place the element acquires a unit positive charge. The number of protons are more than the number of electrons in an element which gives the element its positive charge as the protons have a positive charge.

Should you charge your friend for English classes?

If they are very good friend of you, you should not charge. Otherwise charge according to how much you work.


Is electric charge scalar or vector quantity?

Charge is a Scalar Quantity as it only have Magnitude not Direction.Like in 10 Coulomb of Charge, it has 10 as magnitude and Coulomb as Unit. But this is not showing any information which tell us that it is in a particular direction.


When drawing a vector you should represent the magnitude of the vector by the length of the arrow?
