Question

Need help!!! A charge of 8.5 × 10–6 C is in an electric field that has a strength of 3.2 × 105 N/C. What is the electric force acting on the charge?

A. 0.27 N
B. 2.7 N
C. 27 N
D. 270 N

Answer 1

B is the right answer. Multiply numbers you get the answer

Answer 2

Electric force, F = 2.7 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Magnitude of electric charge,
`q=8.5* 10^(-6)\ C`

Electric field,
`E=3.2* 10^(5)\ N/C`

We have to find the electric force acting on the charge. It is given by the product of electric charge and electric field i.e.

`F=q* E`

`F=8.5* 10^(-6)* 3.2* 10^(5)`

F = 2.72 N

Hence, the correct option is (b) " 2.7 N"
