A charge of 1.0 imes 10⁻⁶ C experiences an electric force of 1.5 imes 10⁻³ N . Determine the magnitude of the electric field at the location of the charge.

Options

A1.5 10⁻⁹ N/C
B1.5 10^3 N/C
C1.5 10^4 N/C
D1.5 10⁻³ N/C

Correct answer

B. 1.5 10^3 N/C

Step-by-step solution

The relation between electric force F , charge q , and electric field E is given by F = qE . Rearranging for the electric field E gives E = F q . Substituting the given values: E = 1.5 10⁻³ 1.0 10⁻⁶ E = 1.5 10³ N/C
