There is an electric field in the atmosphere surrounding the Earth that has a magnitude of roughly 150 N/C and a direction pointing towards the center of the Earth. Determine the magnitude of the force experienced by a dust particle having a negative charge of 10.2E-15 C. Round to the appropriate number of sig figs, and put your answer in scientific notation, just like these examples: 2.55E-6 or 6.009E6
