What does “Electric field” actually mean in Electrostatics, and why does it matter for JEE?
the force per unit positive charge, E = F/q; field lines point away from positive charges.
In simple words: the force per unit positive charge, E = F/q; field lines point away from positive charges. Getting Electric field clear matters because JEE questions on Electrostatics usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Electric field
Common mistake
treating field (a vector) and potential (a scalar) as the same thing.
Memory tip
field lines never cross and start on + and end on − charges.
