The electric field strength (E) at a distance (r) from a point charge (q) can be calculated using the formula:
E = k * (q / r^2)
Where k is the Coulomb's constant, which is approximately equal to 8.99 x 10^9 N.m^2/C^2.
Given that the charge (q) is 2 C and the distance (r) is 0.10 m,
E = (8.99 x 10^9 N.m^2/C^2) * (2 C / (0.10 m)^2)
E = 3596000000 N/C
Therefore, the electric field strength at a distance of 10 cm from a charge of 2 C is 3,596,000 N/C.
What is the electric field strength at a distance of 10 cm from a charge of 2 C?
