7. Which one of the following statements best describes the concept of the electric field? a) The electric field is a vector quantity that is the reaction force of electrons. b) The electric field at each point is the potential energy of a test charge divided by the amount of the test charge. c) The electric field is a distribution of vectors at points due to the presence of one or more charged objects. d) The electric field is a scalar quantity related to the total amount of charge on one or more charged objects. e) The electric field is a scalar field, which has a magnitude at each given point, similar to the temperature or pressure field.

Answer :

Answer:(c)

Explanation:

The electric field is a distribution is a distribution of vectors at point due to the presence of one or more charged objects.

If two or more charged particles are present in a system then the net electric field at a point is the vector addition of all the charges.

For example if a negative and a positive charge is present then electric field of negative charge is towards  the negative charge while it is away for positive charge.  

option d and e are wrong as Electric field is a vector quantity

the concept of the electric field represents the distribution of vectors at the point because of the presence of more than one charged object.

What is an electric field?

It is the electric property that should be associated with each and every point in space at the time when the charge should be presented. In the case when there is two or more charged particles that should be presented in the system so the net electric field should be the point where the vector should be addition to all the charges.

Therefore, the option c is correct.
