Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a charge of 5 μC is placed in an electric field of 2000 N/C, what is the force experienced by the charge? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the charge (q) given in the problem, which is 5 μC (microcoulombs). Convert this to coulombs: 5 μC = 5 × 10^-6 C.
  • Step 2: Identify the electric field (E) given in the problem, which is 2000 N/C.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for force (F) on a charge in an electric field, which is F = qE.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: F = (5 × 10^-6 C) * (2000 N/C).
  • Step 5: Calculate the force: F = 5 × 10^-6 * 2000 = 10 N.
