$5\frac {N}{C}$
Calculating Electric Field Magnitude
The relationship between electric field magnitude ($E$), the force ($F$) experienced by a charge, and the magnitude of the charge ($q$) is given by the formula:
$F = qE$
We need to find the electric field ($E$). We can rearrange the formula to solve for $E$:
$E = \frac{F}{q}$
Applying the Formula
Given:
- Charge ($q$) = 2 C
- Force ($F$) = 10 N
Substitute these values into the rearranged formula:
$E = \frac{10 \text{ N}}{2 \text{ C}}$
$E = 5 \frac{\text{N}}{\text{C}}$
Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field at that point is $5 \frac{\text{N}}{\text{C}}$.
