Answer : A

Given data

Charge on the balloon(q) = 9.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ coulombs,

Force experiences (F) = 8.2 × 10⁻² N ,

determine the electric field experienced by charged balloon (E)= ?

We know that,

F = q.E Newtons

=> E = F/q Newtons/Coulomb

=> E = (8.2 × 10⁻² N) / (9.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ C)

= 8.72 × 10⁷ Newtons/Coulombs

E =8.72 × 10⁷ N/C

Electric field experienced by the charged balloon is 8.72 × 10⁷ N/C
