Question
An electron moving through an electric field experiences an acceleration of 6.1 multiplied by 103 m/s2.
(a) Find the electric force acting on the electron.
(b) What is the strength of the electric field?
(a) Find the electric force acting on the electron.
(b) What is the strength of the electric field?
Answers
(a) Force = mass x acceleration
Look up the electron mass
(b) Force = e*E
Solve for the field, E. Use the force from part (a)
e is the electron charge.
