Answer:
2.1×10¹⁸ C
Explanation:
Using,
E = kq/r²...................... Equation 1
Where E = Electric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulombs constant.
make q the subject of the equation
q = Er²/k.................. Equation 2
Given: E = 180000 N/C, r = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m
Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C².
Substitute these values into equation 2
q = 180000(9×10⁹)/0.028²
q = 2.1×10¹⁸ C
Hence the object charge is 2.1×10¹⁸ C
