A charge of 0.01 C is in a 120 N/C electric field. What is the force on the charge?

(120 N/C) x (0.01 C) = 1.2 N

Calculating the Force on a Charge in an Electric Field
When a charge is placed in an electric field, it experiences a force. The magnitude of this force can be calculated using the equation F = qE, where F is the force in newtons (N), q is the charge in coulombs (C), and E is the electric field strength in newtons per coulomb (N/C).
In the given scenario, a charge of 0.01 C is placed in an electric field of 120 N/C. To find the force on the charge, we multiply the charge by the electric field strength:
F = qE = (0.01 C)(120 N/C) = 1.2 N The direction of the force will be the same as the direction of the electric field if the charge is positive, and opposite if the charge is negative.
