Plot the graph of the electrical field

Graph Help!

Plot the graph of the electrical field created by a point charge of 10^-6 C as a funtion of distance to the charge. Plot the graph for the range of the distances from 0.1m to 1m



Should I use this equation... E= Q/(4.pi.e)x(d^2) as this is for
electric field strength and not eletric field created as asked?

If i do use thsi equation,
Do I need a value for e or can i ignore the 4.pi.e and just use E= Q/(d^2)
Do I graph the value of E to the correseponding value i used for d?
Should the graph be an inverse square graph??

Thanks for your help.

You can use E = k*q/r² where k = 1/4πε_o

That's k= 9*10⁹

Since your scale is a concern as it spans a range of input that is a factor of 10, then your y-axis needs to span a factor of 100.
