What is the force experienced by a positive test charge of 6.4 × 10-6 coulombs if the electric field strength is 2.8 × 105 newtons/coulomb?

Respuesta :

For Plato students it's whatever one had 1.7 times ten to either the -2 or -3

Answer : F = 1.792 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

Magnitude of test charge, [tex]q=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]

Electric field strength, [tex]E=2.8\times 10^5\ N/C[/tex]

We know that the electric field is defined as the force acting per unit electric charge.

[tex]E=\dfrac{F}{q}[/tex]

[tex]F=qE[/tex]

[tex]F=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 2.8\times 10^5\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]F=1.792\ N[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
