Question

If you place a + 0.638 C charge at a point where the electric field is 27.4 N/C to the right, what electric force will it feel? Include a + or - sign to indicate the direction of the force.

Answer 1

F = +17.48 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Electric charge is +0.638 C and the electric field is 27.4 N/C to the right.

It is required to find the electric force felt by the electric charge.

When a charged particle is placed in electric field, it will posses electric force. The sign of force depends on the charged particle.

The electric force is given by :

`F=qE\\\\F=+0.638* 27.4\\\\F=17.48\ N`

So, the electric force is 17.48 N and the force is positive.
