Solution
Correct Answer:
1.8 × 10⁶ N/C
- Definition: The electric field (E) at a point is the force per unit charge at that point.
- Formula: E=kr2q.
- Data:
- q=2×10−6 C.
- r=0.1 m.
- Computation:
- E=(0.1)29×109×2×10−6
- E=0.0118×103.
- Final Value: E=1.8×106 N/C.
- Direction: For a positive charge, the field points radially outward.
