An electron is located in an electric field of magnitude 600 Newton's per coulomb. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force acting in the electron?

force on electron will be equal to

Explanation:

We have given magnitude of electric field E = 600 N/C

Charge on electron

We have to find the electric force on the electron

Force in electric field is equal to , here q is charge and E is electric field

So force will be equal to

So force on electron will be equal to

The magnitude of the electrostatic force acting in the electron is .

Explanation:

The relation between electric field, electric force and charge is given as

Here E is electric field, F is the electric force and e is the electric charge on electron.

Given .

Substitute the given values, we get

The magnitude of force,

.

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force acting in the electron is .
