Question

the total positive charge is QQQ = 1.62×10−6 CC , what is the magnitude of the electric field caused by this charge at point P, a distance ddd = 1.53 mm from the charge

Answer 1

Answer:

6.1 × 10^9 Nm-1

Explanation:

The electric field is given by

E= Kq/d^2

Where;

K= Coulombs constant = 9.0 × 10^9 C

q = magnitude of charge = 1.62×10−6 C

d = distance of separation = 1.53 mm = 1.55 × 10^-3 m

E= 9.0 × 10^9 × 1.62×10−6/(1.55 × 10^-3 )^2

E= 14.58 × 10^3/2.4 × 10^-6

E= 6.1 × 10^9 Nm-1
