Suppose there is a single electron a set distance from a positive point charge Q, which quantities does the electrical force on the electron depend on?

A. The charge of the positive charge
B. The charge of the electron
□ C. The radius of the positive charge
□ D. The radius of the electron
E. The mass of the electron
□ F. The distance between the positive charge and the electron
□ G. The mass of the positive charge
Expert Solution

Step 1
When two items with an excess of one type of charge are near enough together, they repel each other. When two positively charged and negatively charged objects are in close contact, they attract one other.
The electric field produced by a charge Q at a location r can be expressed as,
Where, r is the unit vector.
So, it is seen that E depends on charge of the positive charge, distance between electron and positive charge.
For force,
F= q * E
So, force depends on charge of electron, charge of the positive charge, distance between electron and positive charge.
