QUESTION:

Problem 27P

What is the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by an electron in an electric field of 750 N/C? How does the direction of the acceleration depend on the direction of the field at that point?

ANSWER:

Solution 27P

Step 1 of 3:

An electron is accelerated by an electric field E. We are going to find the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration.

The applied electric field E = 750 N/C

The mass of the electron m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg

The charge of the electron e = 1.602 x 10-19 C
