The way in which the electric field acting on a test charge differ from the force on that charge.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electric field strength on a charge
Where,
As can be seen from above formula, the electric field strength acting on a test charge results in the electrostatic force acting on it which is given as,
Thus, if any charged particle is kept in external electric field, then force will act on it due to this external electric field.
Conclusion:
Hence, the force acting on a charge depends on the electric field acting on it.
