Question
A proton and an electron are moving due east in a constant electric field that also points due east. The electric field has a magnitude of 2.0 × 104 N/C. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the proton and the electron.
Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that the relation between the electric field and Force is given as 

F = Eq 

where E is the electric field 

q is the charge of the proton.

F is the force  

Newton's law is given as 

F = ma 

where a is the acceleration 

m is the mass
