A charge of \(4.6 × 10^-5\)C is placed in an electric field of intensity \(3.2 × 10^4\) \(Vm^-1\). What is the force acting on the electron?

  • A. 1.5 N
  • B. 3.7 N
  • C. 4.2 N
  • D. 2.5 N

Correct Answer: A. 1.5 N

Explanation

q=\(4.6 × 10^-5\), C= \(3.2 × 10^4\) \(V^m-1\) F= ?

F=qE

⇒ \(4.6 × 10^-5\)C × \(3.2 × 10^4\)

; F= 1.5 N
