can someone please help:)

1- A positive charge of 3x10-7 is located in a field of 27N/C directed toward the south. What is the force acting on the charge?



2- A positive test charge of 5x10-6Cis in an electric field that exerts a force of 2x10-4N on it.

What is the magnitude of the electric field at the location of the test charge?

Explanation:

(1) Given that,

A charge, [tex]q=3\times 10^{-7}\ C[/tex]

Electric field, E = 27 N/C

We need to find the force acting on the charge. The force on the charge is given by :

[tex]F=qE\\\\F=3\times 10^{-7}\times 27\\F=8.1\times 10^{-6}\ N[/tex]

So, the force acting on the charge is [tex]8.1\times 10^{-6}\ N[/tex]

(b) Charge, [tex]q=5\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]

Force, [tex]F=2\times 10^{-4}\ N[/tex]

Let E be the electric field.

[tex]E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-4}}{5\times 10^{-6}}\\\\E=40\ N/C[/tex]

So, the electric field is 40 N/C.
