    Calculating Electric Field Strength for a Point Charge and Proton Interaction

    Thanks! But, I'm still a little confused on how i would find the magnitude of the electric field. Would i do F=(kq)/r^2 rather than multiplying both 1.3x10^-7, 1.6x10-19C and 9x10^9?

    Calculating Electric Field Strength for a Point Charge and Proton Interaction

    Ok, so I should change the question to electric force? Or am I missing part of a calculation to give me electric field strength. Because, I've had trouble with this unit in my class for a while and I want to understand it. Isn't there a way to get electric field strength from electric force?

    Calculating Electric Field Strength for a Point Charge and Proton Interaction

    Homework Statement (This was part of an assignment that we had to create, so the question is one of my own, although I'm not quite comfortable with this area, hence why I'm asking for help) Calculate electric field strength of a positive point charge of 1.3x10-7C that is 5.3x10-4m away from a...
