Question
What is the magnitude of a point charge whose electric field 50 cm away has magnitude 2 N/C?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
E = kq/r2 => q = E r2/k = (2)(0.5)2/(9x109) = (2)(0.25)/9x109 = 0.5/9x109 = 5.56x10-11 C.
Hint
E = kq/r2 => q = E r2/k = (2)(0.5)2/(9x109) = (2)(0.25)/9x109 = 0.5/9x109 = 5.56x10-11 C.
