A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near Earth's surface. A particle of charge C is acted on by a downward electrostatic force of N when placed in this field. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field

Answer :

skyluke89

The magnitude of the electric field is 1154 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field is given by

[tex]F=qE[/tex]

where

F is the magnitude of the force

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, we have:

[tex]q=2.6\cdot 10^{-9} C[/tex] is the magnitude of the charge

[tex]F=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}N[/tex] is the magnitude of the force

Solving for E, we find the magnitude of the electric field:

[tex]E=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{2.6\cdot 10^{-9}}=1154 N/C[/tex]
