Answer:

0.9 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric force acting on a charge is given by:


F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the strength of the electric field

In this problem, we have


q=4.5\cdot 10^(-5)C is the charge


E=2.0\cdot 10^4 N/C is the strength of the electric field

Substituting into the equation, we find


F=(4.5\cdot 10^(-5)C)(2.0\cdot 10^4 N/C)=0.9 N
