Now find the magnitude of the force on an electron placed at point p. recall that the charge on an electron has magnitude e=1.60×10−19c

Respuesta :

Explanation :

Electric field is defined as the electric force that is acting per unit electric charge.

i.e. [tex]E=\dfrac{F}{q}[/tex]

So, the force acting on charge when it is placed in an electric field will be :

       [tex]F=q\times E[/tex]

For an electron,

Charge on electron, [tex]q=e=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

The magnitude of force on electron is

[tex]F= (1.6\times 10^{-19}\times E)\ N[/tex]

So, by putting the value of electric field it is very easy to find electric force.
