Question

Electric Field around a Point Charged Object 01 Due in 12 hours, 18 minutes In describing the electric force we use the concept of the electric field. Every object that has a non-zero charge creates an electric field around it everywhere in space. The field is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction at every point in space Refer to your book for a discussion of the electric field created by point-charged object. Take note of the both the direction and the magnitude (or strength) of the field at a point in space a certain distance from the object. Also make sure you take note of the units for the electric field Below is a point object with an electric charge of 6.23 μC. Indicate the direction of the electric field at each point indicated 1c Left+Right Down Point A Point D Point C Point B Submit Answer Tries 0/10 Suppose Point C is 3.05 m from this charged object. What is the magnitude (we sometimes also say strength) of the electric field at Point C due to the charged point object? Submit Answer Tries 0/10

Answer 1

Down point A right Point D up point C left point B Magnitude of electric field at point C E = Q/4 pi epsilon_0 d^2 = 6.23 times 10^-6 times 9 times 10^9/(3.05)^2 E = 6.03 times 10^3 N right point C up point B left point D down point A Magnitude of electric field at point A E = Q/4 pi epsilon_0 d^2 = 4.02 times 10^-6 times 9 times 10^9/(3.2)^2 E = 3.53 times 10^3 N
