A test charge of -1.4 × 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 × 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field created by the negative test charge.

A. 1.4 × 106 newtons/coulomb
B. 1.9 × 106 newtons/coulomb
C. 5.4 × 10-1 newtons/coulomb
D. 3.6 × 106 newtons/coulomb

Respuesta :

I would say C 5.4 x 10-1 Newtons/coulomb

Answer: D. 3.6*10^-6

Explanation:

Electric field strength E= Force on a charge / charge

E = F/q

E = 5.4*10^-1 / 1.4*10^-7

E = 3.857*10^6 N/C
