Question

Need help!!! A charge of 8.5 × 10–6 C is in an electric field that has a strength of 3.2 × 105 N/C. What is the electric force acting on the charge?
A. 0.27 N
B. 2.7 N
C. 27 N
D. 270 N

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric force, F = 2.7 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of electric charge, $q=8.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Electric field, $E=3.2\times 10^{5}\ N/C$

We have to find the electric force acting on the charge. It is given by the product of electric charge and electric field i.e.

$F=q\times E$

$F=8.5\times 10^{-6}\times 3.2\times 10^{5}$

F = 2.72 N

Hence, the correct option is (b) " 2.7 N"

Answer 2

B is the right answer. Multiply numbers you get the answer
