Question

An electron is moving in the presence of an electric field of 400 N/C. What force does the electron experience?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Electric Field strength
`E=400\ N/C`

charge of electron
`q=1.6* 10^(-19)\ C`

Force on the charge particle is given by

`F=qE`

`F=1.6* 10^(-19)* 400`

`F=640* 10^(-19)\ N`

but this force will be acting in the direction opposite to the direction of Electric field because electron is negatively charged
