CONCEPT:

Electric field intensity: 

  • It is defined as the force experienced by a unit positive test charge in the electric field at any point.

\(⇒ E=\frac{F}{q_{o}}\)    

Where E = electric field intensity, qo = charge on the particle

EXPLANATION:

  • The magnitude of electric force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field is given as,

\(\Rightarrow F=Eq_{o}\)   

  • From the above equation, it is clear that the magnitude of electric force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field depends on the magnitude of the charge on the particle.
  • Hence, option 1 is correct.
