Question

Magnitude and Direction of Electric Fields??

How would you do the following? A small object A, electrically charged, creates an electric field. At a point P located 0.250m directly north of A, the field has a value of 40.0N/C directed to the south. What is the charge of object A? (a)1.11×10^-9 C (b)-1.11x10^-9 C (c)2.78x10^-10 C (d)-2.78x10^-10 C (e)5.75x10^12 C (f)-5.75x10^12 C

Answer 1

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "(d)-2.78x10^-10 C." A small object A, electrically charged, creates an electric field. At a point P located 0.250m directly north of A, the field has a value of 40.0N/C directed to the south.
