Question

A particle of charge 3.53×10 ​−8 ​​ C experiences a force of magnitude 6.03×10 ​−6 ​​ N when it is placed in a particular point in an electric field. What is the magnitude of the electric field at that point?

Answer 1

Electric field at the location of the charge is 169.97 N/C

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Force, F = 6 x 10⁻⁶ N

Charge, q = 3.53 x 10⁻⁸ C

We have           

       $E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\E=\frac{6\times 10^{-6}}{3.53\times 10^{-8}}\\\\E=169.97N/C$

Electric field at the location of the charge is 169.97 N/C
