A test charge is always taken ________ and ____________.

A ________ charge shows the direction of electric force at a point due to a charged body.

• A test charge is a charge with a magnitude so small that placing it at a point has a negligible affect on the field around the point.
• A positive test charge is a unit positive charge which is used to determine the strength and direction of an electric field.

The electric force ___________ on the medium between the charges.

• K= 1/4πε
• The value of k depends on the electric permittivity of the medium (ε).
• And the electric permittivity of a medium (ε) depends on the nature of the medium.
• Therefore, the value of K is different for different medium.
• Hence, the electrostatic force depends on the medium between the two charges.
