A- 5 mC charge travels due south under the influence of a 5. N force when placed into a uniform electric field. Determine the magnitude of the electric field.

Answer:

Electric field will be equal to 1000 N/C

Explanation:

We have given charge [tex]q=5mC=5\times 10^{-3}C[/tex]

It is given that this charge is in influence of 5N

So electrostatic force F = 5 N

We have to find the electric field

Force on any charge in an electric field is equal to [tex]F=qE[/tex]

So [tex]5=5\times 10^{-3}\times E[/tex]

E = 1000 N/C

So electric field/ will be equal to 1000 N/C

Answer:

1000 N/C

Explanation:

The relation between electric field, electric force and charge is given as

[tex]E=\frac{F}{q}[/tex]

Here E is electric field, F is the electric force and q is the electric charge.

The magnitude of electric field,

[tex]|E|=\frac{|F|}{q}[/tex]

Given F = 5.0 N and q =5 mC.

Substitute the given values, we get

[tex]|E|=\frac{5N}{5\times 10^-^3C}[/tex]

|E| = 1000 N/C

Thus , the magnitude of the electric field is 1000 N/C.
