Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part D
What is the direction of the electric field?
What is the direction of the electric field?
toward protonaway from proton
Part C
What is the strength of the electric field Ee 0.50 mm from an electron?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Explanation / Answer
part A) Electric field = k*q / r2 = 9*109*1.607*10-19 / (0.5*10-3)2 = 5.7852*10-3 N/C.
part b) away from the proton
part c) Electric field = k*q / r2 = -9*109*1.607*10-19 / (0.5*10-3)2 = -5.7852*10-3 N/C
part d) towards the electron.
