An isolated electron experiences an electric force of 6.4 x 10-14 N. What is the magnitude of the electric field at that location? (qe = 1.6 x 10-19 C)Question 3

An isolated electron experiences an electric force of 64 x 1014 N What is the magnitude of the electric field at that location qe 16 x 1019 CQuestion 3 class=

Respuesta :

Given,

The electric force experienced by the electron, F=6.4×10⁻¹⁴ N

The charge of an electron, q_e=1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

The electric field is the physical field in which if a charged particle is placed, it experiences the electric force.

The electric field and electric force are related to each other using the formula,

[tex]F=Eq[/tex]

On substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.4\times10^{-14}=E\times1.6\times10^{-19} \\ E=\frac{6.4\times10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}} \\ =400\times10^3\text{ N/C} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the electric field at that location is 400×10³ N/C
