How could you increase the strength of an electric field?

• use an iron core, increase the number of turns of wire

• increase the voltage and increase the distance

• use an iron core and increase the current

• increase the voltage and decrease the distance

How do you calculate the force on a charge inside an electric field?

• field strength x charge

• field strength / charge

• charge / field strength

• field strength x current

How would you calculate the force on a moving (at right angles) charge in magnetic field?

• F = BIL

• F = Bqv

• F = Eq

• This is no force
