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 proton

away 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.
