A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6uC charge generating an electric field. What is the strength of the electric
field on the point charge? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.4 NC⁻¹      

Explanation:

Electric field strength is a quantitative expression of the intensity of an electric field at a particular location.

The standard unit - volt per meter (v/m).

  • Any electrically charged object produces an electric field. This field has an effect on other charged objects.
  • The field strength at a particular distance from an object is directly proportional to the electric charge, in coulombs, on that object.
  • The field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from a charged object.

Therefore we can state the above points as a equation as follows

[tex]E=k\frac{Q}{r^{2} } \\ k = \frac{1}{4*pi*e } = 9*10^{9}mF^{-1} E=9*10^{9}*\frac{6*10^{-6}}{100^{2} }\\E = 5.4 NC^{-1}[/tex]
