    This document provides answers to self-assessment questions from Chapter 8 of the Cambridge International AS Level Physics textbook. The answers explain electric field concepts like the direction of electric field lines between charges and the relationship between electric field strength, potential difference, and distance. Formulas are also given for calculating electric field strength, voltage required for sparking, and acceleration of charged particles in an electric field.
