Question #91602

If 1mC charge is located at origin then the force on that charge will be .........?

Expert's answer

The electrostatic force between two point charges is given by Coulomb law:


F=kq1q2r3r\vec{F}=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^3}\vec{r}

If the point charge is in the external electric field, then the force is:


F=qE\vec{F}=q\vec{E}

where E\vec{E} - electric field strength.


In our case, if the charge is 1mC, and it's located in the origin:


F[N]=103E(0,0,0)[N/C]\vec{F}[N]=10^{-3}\vec{E}(0,0,0) [N/C]
