Question

What is the value of the charge that experiences a force of 2.4×10^-3N in an electric field of 6.8×10^-5N/C

Answer 1

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{\approx 35.29 C}`

Use the following formula:

E = F / C, where:

E = electric field (N/C)

F = force (N)

C = Charge (C)

Thus:

6.8 × 10⁻⁵ = 2.4 × 10⁻³ / C

Isolate for C:

C = 2.4 × 10⁻³ / 6.8 × 10⁻⁵

Solve:

≈ 35.29 C
