An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of the electric force on this electron due to this field? A. 1.6 × 10-3 newtons B. 1.4 × 1024 newtons C. 2.2 × 10-14 newtons D. 7.4 × 10-13 newtons E. 4.5 × 1014 newtons
***update, its not D lol

Answer:

Electric force, [tex]F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on an electron is [tex]-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

Electric field, [tex]E=1.4\times 10^5\ N/m[/tex]

We need to find the magnitude of the electric force on this electron due to this field. The electric force is given by :

[tex]F=qE\\\\F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.4\times 10^5\\\\F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N[/tex]

So, the electric force is [tex]2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N[/tex].
