Question

Find the electric force acting on an alpha particle in a horizontal electric field of 600N/C

Answer 1

Since an alpha particle has 2 protons and no negative particles (electrons) to balance the net charge, its charge is
Q=2(1.6e-19)=3.2e-19C.
The force on a charged particle is F=QE so
(3.2e-19C)(600N/C)=1.92e-16N
