Question 5 • TX-Physics B

A –0.06 C charge is placed is in a uniform electric field with a strength of 200 N/C. What is the magnitude and direction of the force on the charge?

Answer
A
12 N in the opposite direction of the field
B
12 N in the same direction of the field
C
3333 N up in the opposite direction of the field
D
3333 N in the same direction of the field

Explanation

The electric force is given by F = qE. Its magnitude is |−0.06 C| × 200 N/C = 12 N. Because the charge is negative, the force points opposite the electric field, so the answer is 12 N in the opposite direction of the field.
