Question
Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric force on an electron in a uniform electric field of strength that points due east.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2Let us remember, that the electric field strength is, by definition, the force that would be applied in a unit charge; that is,
Thus, the force on a known charge when the field is given, can be found as
The magnitude of our force will be
The direction will be opposite that of the field, since the charge is negative. That is, the force is pointing due west.
