Suppose that you are applying force to move a particle with a charge of +2 C through a uniform electric field of 7 N/C [1]. You move the charge through a displacement (change in position) of (-6i + 3j - 2k) m. How much net work do you do during this process?

Step 1
We can use the formula F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field strength. Plugging in the values, we get: F = (2 C)(7 N/C) = 14 N Show more…

Two charges; q1 = +5 nC and q2 = -7 nC are arranged as shown in the figure below. a) What is the Electric Field strength at point A? (magnitude and direction) b) What is the Electric Potential (Voltage) at point A? c) What is the Force acting on q2. (magnitude and direction) NOTE: n = nano = x10^-9 SHOW ALL WORK 0.5 m 1.1 m q1 +5 nC +5 x 10^-9 C A q2 -7 nC -7 x 10^-9 C
