### Understanding the Force on an Electron in an Electric FieldIn the scenario provided, a 200-N/C electric field (E) is oriented in the positive x direction. To determine the force (F) acting on an electron within this electric field, we can use the formula:\[ F = qE \]Here:- \( q \) is the charge of the electron, which is approximately \(-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) Coulombs (C)- \( E \) is the electric field strength, given as 200 N/C Since the electron has a negative charge, the direction of the force will be opposite to the direction of the electric field. Let's calculate the force:### Calculation Details\[ F = qE \]\[ F = (-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C}) \times (200 \, \text{N/C}) \]\[ F ≈ -3.2 \times 10^{-17} \, \text{N} \]Therefore, the force on the electron in this electric field is approximately \(3.2 \times 10^{-17}\) N in the negative x direction due to the negative charge of the electron.### Answer ChoicesThe question and answers are presented as a multiple-choice format:- ☐ 200 N in the positive x direction- ☐ 200 N in the negative x direction- ☐ 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁷ N, in the positive x direction- ☐ 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁷ N, in the negative x direction- ☐ 0 NThe correct choice, given the above calculation, is:- ☐ 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁷ N, in the negative x direction

Given E= 200 N/C in positive X direction Charge (q) = e = -1.6 x 10-19 C

A 200-N/C electric field is in the positive x direction. The force on an electron in this field is: 200 N in the positive x direction 200 N in the negative x direction 3.2 x 10-17 N, in the positive x direction 3.2 x 10-17 N, in the negative x direction ΟΝ
