What is the strength of an electric field that will balance the weight of a 8.8 g plastic sphere that has been charged to -8.5 nc ?

Answer :

The strength of the electric field is 1.035 * 10^7 N/C.

What is the electric field?

The term electric field refers to the region in space where the influence of a charge is felt. Now we know that the electric field is obtained form the formula;

E = F/q

E = electric field

F = electric force

q = magnitude of charge

F = 8.8 * 10^-3 * 10 m/s^2 = 0.088 N

q = -8.5 nc or -8.5 * 10^-9 C

E = 0.088 N/ -8.5 * 10^-9 C

E = 1.035 * 10^7 N/C
