Question #98400

find the magnitude of an electron's electric field if the field itself is 50.0 cm away from it

Expert's answer

The magnitude of the electric field, created by a point charge qq at distance rr is E=kqr2E = k\frac{q}{r^2}, where k=14πε0=8.85⋅10−12Nm2C−2k = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} N m^2 C^{-2}.

Hence, for q=e=1.6⋅10−19Cq = e = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C and r=50cm=0.5mr = 50 cm = 0.5 m, the magnitude of electric field is E=5.7⋅10−30VmE = 5.7 \cdot 10^{-30} \frac{V}{m}.
