Based on these answers how can I determine when electric field strength is affected or not

It's not that hard. Let me explain...

There are two ways to remember this.

The first one is by using the formula for the electric strength (E)

E = k × (Q / r^2) , where:

As you can see, field's strength is proportional to the magnitude of Q, and inverse proportional to the square of the distance. The field does not care how much you alter the charge you positioned in ot to test it.

Although that is the only way to work out the problem, there are many ways to remember it. Given that i have difficulty in remembering formulas, i always try to derive it from something i know.

By definition: E is equal to the force acted on the test charge, divided by its value.

E = F / q

Since i remember that:

F = k ( Q × q) / r^2

just take out from the expression the q term, since you divided by it, and all it remains is the strength of the field.

In other words, the strength changes as long as something from the expression is altered.

what is the actual question though?
