A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 5 X 10^-10 N toward the South. What is the electric field the proton experiences?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Electric field on proton

[tex]E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

[tex]Force,F=5\times 10^{-10}\ N[/tex]

We know that

Charge on proton

[tex]q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

We know that

Force = Electric field x Charge

F= E x q

[tex]E=\dfrac{F}{q}\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{5\times 10^{-10}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C[/tex]

Electric field on proton

[tex]E=3.12\times 10^9\ N/C[/tex]

The electric field on the proton is [tex]3.125 \times 10^9 \;\rm N/C[/tex].

How do you calculate the electric field?

Given that the force on the proton is 5 X 10^-10 N. We know that the charge on the proton is 1.6 X 10^-19 C.

The force can be written as given below.

[tex]F = Eq[/tex]

Where F is the force, E is the electric field and q is the charge on the proton. Substituting the values, we get the electric field.

[tex]5 \times 10^{-10} = E \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}[/tex]

[tex]E = 3.125 \times 10^9 \;\rm N/C[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the electric field on the proton is [tex]3.125 \times 10^9 \;\rm N/C[/tex].
