Electric Field Strength Gets WEAKER with distance FORCE exerted per unit CHARGE E r + A B C A > C > B  

Example #1 An object with a charge of -2 coulombs positioned in a uniform electric field experiences a force of -300 newtons. What is the strength of the electric field? E= Fe/q E = -300 N / -2 C E = 150 N/C

Example #2 What is the force experienced by a 0.05 coulomb charge when it is placed in an electric field with a strength of 3 x 103 newtons per coulomb? Fe = Eq F = (3 x 103 N/C)(0.05 C) F = 150 N
