Answer:
6.2 x 10⁻¹⁸N/C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Force on electron = 100N
Unknown:
Electric field strength = ?
Solution:
An electric field is the region of space where the force of an electric current can be felt.
To solve for the strength of the force field;
F = Eq
where F is the force on the electron
E is the electric field strength
q is the quantity of the charge
An electron has a quantity of charge 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
therefore;
100N = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C x E
E = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁸N/C
