Answer:
q = -2.19 x 10⁻⁵ C
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the particle, m = 1.5 g = 0.0015 kg
magnitude of electric field, E = 670 N/C
Electric field is given by;
[tex]E = \frac{F}{q}[/tex]
where;
q is the magnitude of the
f is the force of the charge
f = mg
[tex]E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\E = \frac{mg}{q}\\\\q = \frac{mg}{E}\\\\q = \frac{0.0015*9.8}{670} \\\\q = 2.19*10^{-5} \ C[/tex]
Since the electric field is acting downward, the force on the charge must be acting upward. Therefore, the charge must be negative
q = -2.19 x 10⁻⁵ C
