A.2.14—Electric force Fe question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

This question is in two parts

The magnitude of gravitational field strength g is defined from the equation shown below.

g=Fgmg=\frac{F_{\mathrm{g}}}{m}

The magnitude of electric field strength E is defined from the equation shown below.

E=FEqE=\frac{F_{\mathrm{E}}}{q}

For each of these defining equations, state the meaning of the symbols

FEF_{\mathrm{E}}.
