Question

Determine the force on an electron (charge 1.6×10^-19 C) in a uniform electric field of 120,000 V/m
Options
A 0N
B 1.92×10^14 N
C 1.92×10^-14 N
Correct Answer
D 1.92×10^12 N
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = qE = 1.6×10^-19 × 1.2×10^5 = 1.92×10^-14 N.

Hint

Force on a charge in an electric field: F = qE.
