A charge Q creates an electric field. A test charge q is usedto measure the strength of the electric field at a distance d from Q. The electric field strength is defined as ____

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_o} \times \frac{Q}{ d^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

In the given question we have a test charge q at a distance of d from form another charge Q which creates the field.

The electric field strength is force force per unit test charge, according to the Coulomb's law the force between two charges is given as:

[tex]F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{d^2}[/tex]

where:

[tex]\epsilon_0=[/tex] permittivity of free space

Therefore,

[tex]E=\frac{F}{q}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_o} \times \frac{Q}{ d^2}[/tex]
