but is it because they have the same q/m ratio?
An electric field is a physical quantity that describes the influence of electric charges on each other. It is a vector field, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and is created by stationary electric charges.
The strength of an electric field is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m). It can also be calculated by dividing the force exerted on a charge by that charge's magnitude.
Electric potential is the potential energy per unit of charge at a given point in an electric field. It is directly proportional to the strength of the electric field, meaning as the electric field increases, so does the electric potential.
No, electric field lines cannot intersect. This is because the direction of the electric field is determined by the direction of the force on a positive test charge. If the field lines were to intersect, it would mean that the test charge would experience two different forces at the same point, which is not possible.
Electric field and gravitational field are both vector fields that describe the influence of a force. However, electric field is created by electric charges, while gravitational field is created by masses. Additionally, electric field can be positive or negative, while gravitational field is always positive.
