Fon (^) q = qE = (−5.0 × 10−12 C)(8.0 × 10^4 N/C to the right) = 4.0 × 10−7 N to the left.
- What can you say about the electric force that a charge would
feel if it were placed at a location at which the electric field was
zero?
Here’s How to Crack It
Remember that Fon (^) q = qE. So if E = 0, then Fon (^) q = 0. (Zero field means zero
force.)
