A 3.7 pC charge experiences a force of 8.1 × 10^-7 N in an electric field. What is the magnitude of the electric field? A) 3.00 × 10⁵ N/C B) 2.2 × 10⁵ N/C C) 4.3 × 10^-6 N/C D) 12 N/C E) 1.2 × 10^-3 N/C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnitude of the electric field (E) can be calculated using the formula E = F/q, where F is the force experienced by the charge and q is the magnitude of the charge. Substituting the given values, E = (8.1 × 10^-7 N) / (3.7 × 10^-12 C) = 2.2 × 10^5 N/C.
