A small balloon with a 1.36E-9 C charge is placed a distance of 0.4100 m from a 1.99E-7 C charge. Determine the electric field intensity at the location of the balloon. Round to the appropriate number of sig figs, and do not put your answer in scientific notation.

Answer:

The intensity of the electric field is


|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric field equation is given by:


|E|=k(q)/(d^(2))

Where:

  • k is the Coulomb constant
  • q is the charge at 0.4100 m from the balloon
  • d is the distance from the charge to the balloon

As we need to find the electric field at the location of the balloon, we just need the charge equal to 1.99*10⁻⁷ C.

Then, let's use the equation written above.


|E|=(9*10^(9))(1.99*10^(-7))/(0.41^(2))


|E|=10654.37 \:N/C

I hope it helps you!
