Answer:
A. 1.4 * 10^(12) N/C
Step-by-step explanation:
Parameters given:
Distance of charge from electric field, r = 0.0050 m
Charge, q = 0.0040 C
The electric field at a point, r, away from a charge, q, is given as:
E = (k * q) / r²
Where k = Coulomb's constant
E = (9 * 10^9 * 0.004) / (0.005²)
E = 1440 * 10^9 = 1.4 * 10^(12) N/C
The magnitude of the electric field at a point 0.005 m from the charge is 1.4 * 10^(12) N/C.
