    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                 \[E=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{q}{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[q=E\cdot 4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}^{2}}\] 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,\[q=2\times \frac{1}{9\times {{10}^{9}}}{{\left( \frac{30}{100} \right)}^{2}}=2\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]
