3.6 times 10 superscript 3 baseline upper N per upper C
1.1 × 104 N/C
The strength of an electric field can be calculated using the equation:
Electric field strength (E) = Force (F) / Charge (q)
In this case, the charged particle has a charge of 3.0 × 10^-9 C and is 0.05 m from the test charge. Therefore, the electric field strength can be calculated as:
E = F / q
The answer cannot be calculated without knowing the force acting on the charged particle or the nature of the test charge.
