Question

Determine the force on an electron of charge 1.6x10-19 C placed in a uniform electric field of 120,000 V/m.
Options
A 0 N
B 1.92 x 10-14 N
Correct Answer
C 1.92 x 1014 N
D 1.92 x 1012 N
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = qE = (1.6x10-19)(1.2x105) = 1.92x10-14 N.

Hint

F = qE = (1.6x10-19)(1.2x105) = 1.92x10-14 N.
