Homework Statement



What is the work required to move a positive charge of 10 C for a distance of 6 m in the same direction as a uniform electric field of 50 V/m?

Homework Equations



W=F*d
F=q*E

The Attempt at a Solution



F=q*E
F= 10C*50V/m
F=500
W=F*d
W=500*6m
W=3000J

Have you ever encountered the formulas W=Fd and F=qE?
 
ive seen the first equation, but not the second
thanks
