SUMMARY
The magnitude of the electric field in a uniform electric field can be calculated using the formula E = F/q. In this discussion, a force of 6N acts on a charge of 3 microC (3x10^-6 C). By substituting these values into the formula, the electric field strength is determined to be 2x10^6 N/C. The distance variable is irrelevant in this context, as uniform electric fields assume constant conditions.
