Question

A 10 $\mu\text{C}$ charge is placed in an electric field of $ 5 \times 10^3 \text{N/C} $. What is the force experienced by the charge?

• A. \( 5 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{N} \)
• B. \( 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
• C. \( 5 \times 10^2 \, \text{N} \)
• D. \( 5 \times 10^4 \, \text{N} \)

Hint:

Remember: The force in an electric field depends directly on both the charge and the magnitude of the electric field.
