Calculate the value of electric field intensity due to a charge of 4μC if the force due to the charge is 8N

To calculate the electric field intensity due to a charge, we need to use the formula:

Electric Field Intensity (E) = Force (F) / Charge (q)

In this problem, we are given that the force (F) is 8 Newtons (N) and the charge (q) is 4 microcoulombs (μC). First, we need to convert the charge from microcoulombs to coulombs:

1 microcoulomb (μC) = 1 x 10^-6 coulombs (C)

Therefore, 4 μC = 4 x 10^-6 C.

Now we can use the formula to find the electric field intensity:

E = F / q

E = 8 N / (4 x 10^-6 C)

E = 8 / 4 x 10⁶

E = 2 x 10⁶

Thus, the value of the electric field intensity is 2 x 10⁶ N/C.
