Question

The electric field at point P is 5.9 x 10²⁰ N/C @ 241^o. What is the angle of the force experienced by a electron if it is placed at point P. Express your answer in degrees.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data

The electric field is $E = 5.9 \times 10^{20} N / C$

The angle of the electric field is $θ = 241^{o}$

The charge is $q = - 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$

The force is,

$\begin{array}{rcl} F & = & q E \\ = & (- 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C) (5.9 \times 10^{20} N / C) \\ = & - 94.4 N \end{array}$

here negative sign indicates that the force is opposite to the electric field.
