Question 8 • Physics

What is the value of the charge that experiences a force of 2 point 4 times 10 to the negative 3 power cap n in an electric field of 6 point 8 times 10 to the negative 5 power cap n over cap c ?

Answer
A
2 point 5 times 10 to the negative 3 power cap c
B
2 point 8 times 10 to the negative 3 power cap c
C
3 point 5 times 10 to the 1th power cap c
D
1 point 6 times 10 to the negative 7 power cap c

Explanation

Use the relationship between force, charge, and electric field: F = qE, so q = F/E. Substituting gives q = (2.4 × 10⁻³ N)/(6.8 × 10⁻⁵ N/C) ≈ 35 C = 3.5 × 10¹ C. The charge is 3.5 × 10¹ C, which is choice C.
