An electron is projected horizontally into the space between two oppositely charged metal plates. the electric field between the plates is 500.0 n/c, directed up. (a) while in the field, what is the force on the electron

Respuesta :

Force of electric field on electron is given by

[tex]F = qE[/tex]

here

[tex]q = 1.6 * 10^{-19}C[/tex]

E = 500 N/C

here force is given by

[tex]F = 1.6 * 10^{-19}*500[/tex]

[tex]F = 8 * 10^{-17} N[/tex]

So above is the force on an electron.
