Question:

The electric field strength at a point in an electric field is $30\,N/C$. Find the force experienced by a charge of $20\,C$ at that point.

Show Hint

Remember the relation: \[ F=qE \] Force is directly proportional to both charge and electric field strength.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Electric field intensity is defined as force per unit positive charge. \[ E=\frac{F}{q} \] Therefore, \[ F=qE \]

Step 1: Write the given data. \[ E=30\,N/C \] \[ q=20\,C \]

Step 2: Substitute into the formula. \[ F=qE \] \[ F=(20)(30) \] \[ F=600\,N \]

Step 3: State the answer. Hence the force acting on the charge is \[ 600\,N \] center minipage0.35

Force = $600\,N$ minipage center
