Electric Charges and Fields

  1. There is an electric field E in x-direction. If the work done on moving a charge of 0.2 C through a distance of 2 m along a line making an angle 60° with x-axis is 4J, then what is the value of E?​​
    1. 3 N/C
    2. 4 N/C
    3. 5 N/C
    4. 20 N/C
Correct Option: D

Charge (q) = 0.2 C ; Distance (d) = 2m ;
Angle θ = 60° and work done (W) = 4J. ​
Work done in moving the charge (W) ​= F.d cos θ = qEd cos θ

or , E =
