Chapter 22: Q. 29 - Excercises And Problems (page 625)

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 N/C electric field at a point 1.0 m away?

Short Answer

Expert verified

q=1.1×10-10C

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Electric field 1.0N/C

distanced=1.0m

02

Explanation

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by: E=kqr2

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

q=Er2k=(1.0N/c)(1.0m)29×109Nm2c2=1.1×1010C
