Of an electric field using a small test charge located .30m to the right of a charge of -3.0x10^-6
-
just use formula
E = k*q/r^2
now k = 9*10^9 which is 1/(4*pi*epsilon)
E = 9*10^9*(-3.0*10^6)/(3*10^-1)^2
E = 9*10^9*(-3.0*10^-6)/(9*10^-2)
alot of the numbers cancel
E = 1*10^9*(-3.0*10^-6)*10^2
the last exponent I inverted the 1/10^-2 to make it 10^2
E = -3.0*10^3*10^2
E = -3.0*10^5
this means it is a magnitude of 3.0*10^5
and the direction is toward the original (not test) charge because its negative..
this means it points left
hope that helps
