Calculate Electric Field





Formula

The formula to calculate the Electric Field (E) is:

\[ E = \frac{[Coulomb] \cdot Q}{r^2} \]

Where:

Definition

The Electric Field is the force per unit charge at a particular point in space around a distribution of electric charges.

Charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes objects to experience a force when placed in an electrostatic field.

Separation between Charges is the distance between two point charges in an electrostatic field, affecting the electrostatic force between them.

How to calculate Electric Field

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ E = \frac{[Coulomb] \cdot 0.3}{2119.85^2} \]

Evaluating:

\[ E \approx 600.001585350268 \]

The Electric Field is approximately 600.001585350268 Volt per Meter.
