Integrated Concepts An electron has an initial velocity of

Solution: 6 In the above question they have given the electron has an initial velocity of 5.00 × 10 5 m/s in a uniform 2.00 × 10 N/C strength electric field. The field accelerates the electron in the direction opposite to its initial velocity. Step 1 (a) What is the direction of the electric field The above figure diagram of the pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line. As the above such lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges.
