Question

True or False: The electric field.....

1) points in the same direction as the electric force if the probe charge q is positive, and the opposite direction of the electric force if the probe charge q is negative.
2) points in the opposite direction as the electric force if the probe charge q is positive, and the same direction of the electric force if the probe charge q is negative.
3) is not a vector.
4) does not depend on the magnitude of the charge q used to probe the field.
5) is a vector.
6) depends on the magnitude of the charge q used to probe the field.
7) exerts an electric force on charges.
