You should be able to tell without any calculation that your solution is incorrect.asi123 said:Homework Statement
Hey guys.
Is it correct what I did there?
Thanks in advance.

HINT:Check the sign
Looks okay to measi123 said:Yeah, but what about the magnitude?
As for the sign, it should be opposite from q, right?
Thanks.
Electrostatics is the study of stationary electric charges and the forces they exert on each other.
An electric field is a region in space where an electric charge experiences a force due to the presence of other charges.
An electric field is created when a source charge, such as an electron or a proton, is placed in space. The field is the result of the electric force exerted by the source charge on other charges in its surroundings.
The unit of electric charge is the Coulomb (C).
Electric potential is the amount of work required to move a unit of positive charge from one point to another in an electric field. It is directly proportional to the strength of the electric field and can be calculated by multiplying the electric field strength by the distance between the two points.
