An electric charge q, placed at a certain point of the field with an intensity E = 6 N / C

An electric charge q, placed at a certain point of the field with an intensity E = 6 N / C, is acted upon from the side of the field by a force F = 5 N. Determine the numerical value of this charge.

Task data: E (field strength value) = 6 N / C; F (the force with which the field will act on the considered charge) = 5 N.

The numerical value of the charge under consideration can be expressed from the formula for calculating the electric field strength: E = F / q, whence q = F / E.

Let’s make a calculation: q = 5/6 = 0.833 Cl.

Answer: The numerical value of the charge is 0.833 C.
