Write the equation for the electric field produced by a point charge. How does it depend on the distance from the charge?

There exists an electric field of magnitude $E$ in the $x$-direction. If the work done in moving a charge of $0.2 \, C$ through a distance of $2 \, m$ along a line making an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is $4 \, J$,then the value of $E$ is ........ $N / C$.

$A$ circular wire loop of radius $10 \ cm$ carries a total charge of $10^{-5} \ C$ distributed uniformly over its length. $A$ small length of $3.14 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ of wire is cut off. The magnitude of the electric field at the centre due to the remaining wire is:
