    What is the magnitude of the point charge due  to which the electric field 30 cm away has the magnitude of 2N/C? \[\left( \frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=9\times {{10}^{9}}N{{M}^{2}}/{{C}^{2}} \right)\]

    A)  \[4\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]

    B) \[2\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]

    C)  \[5.4\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]

    D)  \[7.5\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The electric field E due to point charge q is given by \[E=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{q}{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[q=E.4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}^{2}}\] Given, \[r=30\,cm=30\times {{10}^{-2}}m,\,E=2N/C\] \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=9\times {{10}^{9}}\,N{{m}^{2}}/{{C}^{2}}\] Hence, \[q=2\times \frac{1}{9\times {{10}^{9}}}\times {{\left( \frac{30}{100} \right)}^{2}}=2\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]
