    The magnitude and direction of electric field - problems and solutions

    1. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field at a point A located at 5 cm from a point
    charge Q = +10 μC. k = 9 x 109 Nm2C−2, 1 μC = 10−6 C)
    Known :
    Electric charge (Q) = +10 μC = +10 x 10-6 C
    The distance between point A and point charge Q (rA) = 5 cm = 0.05 m = 5 x 10-2 m
    k = 9 x 109 Nm2C−2
    Wanted : The magnitude and direction of the electric field at point A
    Solution :
    Formula of the magnitude of electric field :
    q
    E=k 2
    rA
    The magnitude of electric field at point A :
    ( 10 x 10−6 ) 90 x 10 3
    E=( 9 x 109 ) 2
    = −4
    ( 5 x 10−2 ) 25 x 10
    7
    E=3.6 x 10 N/C
    The direction of the electric field at point A :
    The electric charge is positive hence the direction of the electric field away from the electrical charge
    and point A.

    2. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field at a point P located at 10 cm from a point
    charge Q = -20 μC. k = 9 x 109 Nm2C−2, 1 μC = 10−6 C.
    Known :
    Electric charge (q) = -20 μC = -20 x 10-6 C
    The distance between point P and electric charge (rP) = 10 cm = 0.1 m = 1 x 10-1 m
    k = 9 x 109 Nm2C−2
    Wanted : The magnitude and direction of electric field at point P
    Solution :
