Answer to Question #103392 in Electricity and Magnetism for bjbnl

Question

An electron experiences a force of 8.7 x 10 -12 N. What is the intensity of the electric field?

Answer 1

A force acts on an electron in an electric field

$F=e \cdot E$

Where will we write

$E=\frac{F}{e}=\frac{8.7 \cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}}=5.438\cdot10^{7}V/m$
