At a distance r1 from a point charge, the magnitude of the electric field created by the charge is 300 N/C. At a distance r2 from the charge, the field has a magnitude of 160 N/C. Find the ratio r2/r1.

the  ratio of r₂/r₁ is 1.37.

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of electric field strength at a distance r₁, E₁ = 300 N/C

magnitude of electric field strength at a distance r₂, E₂ = 160 N/C

Electric field strength is given as;

Therefore, the  ratio of r₂/r₁ is 1.37.
