Magnitude of electric field exerted on test charge.
Answer to Problem 14PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is,
Point charge,
Distance from point charge,
Formula Used:
Strength of electric field at distance d away from point charge is given by,
Where,
Calculation:
Since,
So, on putting the values the magnitude of electric field on test charge at d is
The negative sign indicates that the direction of electric field is towards q.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the magnitude of electric field strength exerted on test charge is
