Answer to Question #119740 in Physics for Lindon

Question

Compute for the strength of electric field if a certain charge is 2.5 µm away from a source charge that has a magnitude of 15 µC.

Answer 1

The electric field strength

$$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$$

$$E=9\times 10^9\frac{15\times 10^{-6}}{(2.5\times 10^{-6})^2}=2.16\times 10^{16}\:\rm V/m$$
