Question

A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6 µC charge generating an electric field. What is the strength of the electric field on the point charge? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric field, E = 5 N/C

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the point charge, $Q=6\ \mu C=6\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance at which the point charge is placed, d = 100 m

Electric field is given by :

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}$

$E=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{(100)^2}$

E = 5.4 N/C

E = 5.4 N/C

or E = 5 N/C

Hence, this is the required solution.
