what is the force on a 0.0050 C charge in an electric field of 300 V/m?
A) 1.5 N
B) 60,000 N
C) 300.0050 N
D) 1.7 * 10^-5 N
To calculate the force on a charge in an electric field, we use the formula:
F = q * E
where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field.
Here, the charge (q) is 0.0050 C and the electric field (E) is 300 V/m.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
F = (0.0050 C) * (300 V/m)
F = 1.5 N
Therefore, the force on the charge is 1.5 N.
The correct answer is A) 1.5 N.
