What would be the magnitude and direction of a force that is acting on a charge of -15 μC if an electric field of magnitude 125,000 N/C points due South at a certain spot?

Question

In order to find the magnitude of a force acting on a charge, you will need to multiply the electric field's magnitude by the test charge's magnitude. When a charge is positive, it will act in the same direction as the electric field's direction. When a charge is negative, it will act in the opposite direction to the electric field's direction. 11ec0fda_9983_2b09_a67f_cf5c2195b8f2_NR0004_00 Step 1: Convert μC to C (1 μC = 1 x 10^-6 C) -15 μC = -15 x 10^-6 C Step 2: Insert the values into the equation 11ec0fda_9983_2b0a_a67f_9b1d09e16197_NR0004_00 The magnitude of the force is 1.86 N to the North
