Answer:
[tex]E=6.86\times 10^6\ N/C[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the sphere, m = 2.1 g = 0.0021 kg
Charge, q = 3 nC
We need to find the magnitude of the electric field that balanced the weight of sphere. Let it is E. So,
qE = mg
[tex]E=\dfrac{mg}{q}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]E=\dfrac{0.0021\times 9.8}{3\times 10^{-9}}\\\\E=6.86\times 10^6\ N/C[/tex]
So, the magnitude of the elecric field is [tex]6.86\times 10^6\ N/C[/tex].
