- Give an expression for the electric field strength ?E at a point in terms of the charge ?q and distance ?r from the charge to that point. Use ?k for 14??014πε0 (i.e. ?≡14??0k≡14πε0). Use the following notation (without the quotes): "/" for division, "*" for multiplication, "+" an "-" as usual. For powers used "^2", while for square root use "sqrt". To indicate that square root applies to the whole expression use brackets - for example, for ??‾‾‾‾√AB use sqrt(A*B). For Greek letters such as ?π, ?α etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get 1??2???‾‾‾‾√1πA2BAB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB).
