Electrostatics Question 366

Question: What is the magnitude of a point charge due to which the electric field 30cm away has the magnitude 2newton/coulomb

[1/4πε0=9×109Nm2/C2] [MP PMT 1996]

Options:

A) 2×1011coulomb

B) 3×1011coulomb

C) 5×1011coulomb

D) 9×1011coulomb

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Electric field due to a point charge E=q4πε0r2 q=E×4πε0r2=2×19×109×(30100)2 = 2 x 1011 C
