Physics Topic Practice

Electric Fields and Forces | GCSE Physics Practice

Any charged object creates an electric field around itself which affects other charges.

In which direction do electric field lines point for a positive charge?

What is Electric Fields and Forces | Practice?

"A region around a charged object where another charged object experiences a force."

Question 1

What is the unit of electrical resistance?

Question 2

Misconception: When a circuit is closed, the 'spent' current returns to the battery.

Question 3

Calculate the charge flow if a 3A current flows for 10 seconds.

Question 4

Current is the rate of flow of ____.

Field Diagrams

Field lines point away from positive charges and towards negative charges.

The closer the lines, the stronger the electric field.

A second charge placed in the field experiences an electrostatic force.

Field patterns for isolated spheres are radial.

Exam Tip

Visual Guide: Think of electric field lines as the path a tiny "test" positive charge would take if dropped in the field.

Want to improve faster?

The fastest way to improve your grade is to practise exam-style questions, identify your gaps, and focus only on what you don't know.
