Dear Experts,How F=qE?

Dear Student,
From Coulomb's law, the force on charge q due to a charge Q is given by:
F=14πεoqQr2r^, where r= distance between the charges q and Q.
The electric field due to charge Q is given as:
E=14πεoQr2r^
So, comparing both equations we can write:
F=qE
It is the force on the charge q due to the field generated by Q.

Regards
