In the lab , you have an electric field with a strength of 1,860 N/C. If the force on a particle with an unknown charge is 0.02796 N, what is the value of the charge on this particle.

Answer:

The charge is
q = 1.50 *10^(-5) \ C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The electric field strength is
E = 1860 \ N/C

The force is
F = 0.02796 \ N

Generally the charge on this particle is mathematically represented as


q = (F)/(E)

=>
q = (0.02796)/( 1860)

=>
q = 1.50 *10^(-5) \ C
