Question

A charge of +6.0 μC experiences a force of 2.0 mN in the +x-direction at a certain point in space. (a) What was the electric field there before the charge was placed there? (b) Describe the force a -2.0 μC charge would experience if it were used in place of the +6.0 μC charge. (Ans: (a) 0.33 kN/C in +x-direction; (b) 0.67 mN in -x-direction.

Step 1

0 μC charge was placed there. Given: Charge, Q = +6.0 μC = 6.0 x 10^-6 C Force, F = 2.0 mN = 2.0 x 10^-3 N Using the formula for electric field (E = F/Q), we can calculate the electric field: E = F/Q E = (2.0 x 10^-3 N) / (6.0 x 10^-6 C) E = 0.33 x 10^3 N/C E = Show more…
