Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a charge of +2μC is placed in an electric field of strength 1000 N/C, what is the force acting on the charge? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the charge (q) given in the problem, which is +2μC. Convert this to coulombs: +2μC = +2 * 10^-6 C.
  • Step 2: Identify the electric field strength (E) given in the problem, which is 1000 N/C.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for force (F) acting on a charge in an electric field: F = qE.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: F = (2 * 10^-6 C)(1000 N/C).
  • Step 5: Calculate the force: F = 2 * 10^-3 N = 2 N.
