Question

An electric field of magnitude S.25 105 N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude and direction of the force on a-6 charge at this location.

Answer 1

F=3.15 N pointing south

Step-by-step explanation:

For the magnitude:

`E =(F)/(q)</p><p>F = qE = 6*10x^(-6) *5.25*10^(5)`

`F=3.15 N`

For the direction:

In the equation F=qE, both F and E are vectors while q is the module of the charge, this means that the direction of the electric field is the one that gives the direction of the force, in this case both point south
