A -2.5 μC charge experiences a 8.0 i^ N electric force in a certain electric field....

A -2.5 μC charge experiences a 8.0 i^ N electric force in a certain electric field. [Recall that   i^ is a unit vector in the x-direction.]

What force would a proton experience in the same field?

Answer #1

Electric Force on a charge is given by

F = qE

8i = - 2.5x10-6xE

E = -3.2x106 i volt/meter

Than force on proton in this electric field -

F = 1.6 x 10-19 x (-3.2x106i)

F = - 5.12 x 10-13(i)
