A particle with a charge of +3 nanocoulombs is placed in an electric field with a magnitude of 1500 N per coulomb. what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted on the particle by the electric field?

The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted on the particle by the electric field can be calculated using the formula F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge of the particle, and E is the electric field strength.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

F = (3 x 10^-9 C) x (1500 N/C)

F = 4.5 x 10^-6 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted on the particle by the electric field is 4.5 x 10^-6 N.
