Question

Calculate the amount of charge necessary to exert a force of 35 N in an electric field of 300 N/C.

Question 6 options:
A. 0.117 C
B. 1.17 C
C. 2.12 N/C
D. 0.21 N/C

Answer 1

The amount of charge is "0.117 C" i.e., option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

`\vec{F}` = 35 N

Electric field,

`\vec{E}` = 300 N/C

Charge,

q = ?

As we know,

⇒
`\vec{F}=q\vec{E}`

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

⇒
`35=q* 300`

⇒
`q=(35)/(300)`

⇒
`q=0.117 \ C`
