Question

A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6 µC charge generating an electric field. What is the strength of the electric field on the point charge? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 5 on edge.

Answer 2

Electric field, E = 5 N/C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the point charge,
`Q=6\ \mu C=6* 10^(-6)\ C`

Distance at which the point charge is placed, d = 100 m

Electric field is given by :

`E=(kQ)/(r^2)`

`E=(9* 10^9* 6* 10^(-6))/((100)^2)`

E = 5.4 N/C

E = 5.4 N/C

or E = 5 N/C

Hence, this is the required solution.
