Question

An electric field of 260000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -6.7C at this spot?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric force on the charge will be equal to -1742000 N

Explanation:

We have given electric field at a point is E = 260000 N/C

And charge q = -6.7 C

We have to find the force on that charge

Force on the charge is equal to Force = charge × electric field ( multiplication of electric field and charge )

So force will be equal to $F=260000\times -6.7=-1742000N$

So electric force on the charge will be equal to -1742000 N
