Hen a test charge of + 5.00 nC is placed at a certain point, the force that acts on it has a magnitude of 0.0800 N and is directed northeast. (a) If the test charge were −2.00 nC instead, what force would act on it? (b) What is the electric field at the point in question?

a) F = 0.032 N, The direction is opposite to the field,  45 south west

b) E  = 1.6 10⁷ N / c, With northeast direction

Explanation:

The electric force is given by the expression

           F = q E

Let's look for the elective field with the initial data

           E = F / q

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          q = 5.00 nC = 5.00 10⁻⁹ C

Let's calculate

        E = 0.0800 / 5.00 10⁻⁹

        E = 0.016 10⁹N / C = 1.6 10⁷ N / c

With northeast direction

a) If we change the test charge for another of

        q₂ = -2 nC = -2.0 10⁻⁹ C

        F = -2.0 10⁻⁹  1.6 10⁷

        F = 3.2 10⁻² N = 0.032 N

The direction is opposite to the field, bone 45 south west

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
