The region around a charge in which it exerts a force is called the:

Answer: electric field.

  • A electric field
  • B magnetic field
  • C gravitational field
  • D null field

Correct answer: A. electric field

Explanation: The electric field is the region where a charge experiences an electric force.

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
