Question 6 • TX-Physics B

A charge of 6.4 × 10–7 C experiences an electric force of 1.8 × 10–1 N. What is the electric field strength?

Answer
A
1.1 × 10–7 N/C
B
3.6 × 10–6 N/C
C
8.2 × 100 N/C
D
2.8 × 105 N/C

Explanation

Use the relationship between electric force and field strength: E = F/q. Substituting the values gives E = (1.8 × 10⁻¹ N)/(6.4 × 10⁻⁷ C) = 2.8125 × 10⁵ N/C. Rounded to two significant figures, this is 2.8 × 10⁵ N/C, choice D.
