Best Answer

The "C" stands for Coulombs. It is the standard unit of electric charge. It is the amount of charge transported by one amp in one second.

The electrical force on a 2-C charge is 60 N What is the value of the electric field at the place where the charge is located?

Force can be found using the equation F=qE, where q is the given charge 2C and E is the unknown electric field. Force is given as 60 N which modifies the equation to E=F/q. Substituting the values we get E=60/2= 30N/C which is the electric field at the location of the charge.


What is the symbol for electron?

The symbol for electric charge is written q, -q or Q. The unit of electric charge is coulomb "C". The charge of one electron is equal to the charge of one proton, which is 1.6 * 10-19C. This number is given a symbol "e".

Does any force act on a point charge is moving in a electric field at right angle to the field line?

Yes. A force acts on the charge perpendicular to the plane defined by the charge velocity and the electric field line of force. The Electric field is is equivalent to and magnetic field E=cB, where c is the speed of light. This causes a power field P= cqvxB = c(qvxB) = cForce. Maxwell was the first to predict that light was a form of electricity when he found this relationship, E=cB. Maxwell noticed that light and electric fields had the same speed, c.
