Question

If an electron (with a charge of 1.6 x10−19c) Experiences a force of 500 N at a certain point in an electric field, then find the strength of the electric field in that location

Answer 1

3.125×10²¹ N/C

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric Field: This can be defined as the force experienced per unit charge. The S.I unit of electric Field is N/C

Applying,

E = F/q.................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F = Force experienced, q = Charge of an electron.

From the question,

Given: F = 500 N, q = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 500/(1.6×10⁻¹⁹)

E = 312.5×10¹⁹

E = 3.125×10²¹ N/C
