The strength of electric field E is 17 N / C.
Explanation:
Electric field strength is defined as the force per unit charge acting at a point in the given field. The equation for the strength of the electric field is given by
E = F / q
where E represents the electric field strength,
F represents the force in newton,
q represents the charge in coulomb.
Given the charge q = 0.30 coulombs
force F = 5.0 N
Electric field strength E = force / charge
= 5.0 / 0.30
E = 16.66 = 17 N / C.
