By definition of an electric field,
E = F/q
=> F = Eq
You have the value of the electric field at that point (assuming the field is uniform as it isn't mentioned in the question), and you have the value of 'q', the charge on the electron, which is 1.6 * 10^-19 C.
An electron is placed in an electric field of 12 N/C to the right. What is the resulting force on the electron?
I just don't see how I have enough information to solve this.
