An electron with a charge value of 1.6 × 10−¹⁹ C is moving in the presence of an electric field of 300 N/C.What force does the electron experience? A) 2.3 × 10−²² N B) 4.8 × 10−¹⁷ N C) 6.4 × 10−¹⁷ N D) 1.9 × 10−²¹ N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force experienced by an electron in the presence of an electric field is given by F = qE, where q is the charge of the electron and E is the electric field strength. Substituting the given values, we get:
F = (1.6 × 10^-19C) (300 N/C)
F = 4.8 × 10^-17N
Therefore, the answer is B, 4.8 × 10^-17N.
