Question

A charge of \( 2 \, \mu\text{C} \) is placed in an electric field of intensity \( 4 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/C} \). What is the force experienced by the charge?

• A. \( 8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
• B. \( 8 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{N} \)
• C. \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
• D. \( 4 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{N} \)

Hint:

The force experienced by a charge in an electric field is given by \( F = E \times q \). Ensure to use the correct units for the electric field and charge.
