There is an electric field $E$ in $X$-direction. If the work done on moving a charge $0.2\ C$ through a distance of $2m$ along a line making an angle $60{^\circ}$ with the $X$-axis is 4.0, what is the value of $E$

(d) $W = qV = qE.d$
$\Rightarrow 4 = 0.2 	imes E 	imes (2\cos{60{^\circ}})$
$= 0.2\ E 	imes (2 	imes 0.5)$
$	herefore E = \frac{4}{0.2} = 20\ NC^{- 1}$
