With a thunderstorm brewing, an electric field of magnitude 2.0 × 102 newtons/coulomb exists at a certain point in the earth’s atmosphere. If an electron at that point has a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs, what is the magnitude of the force on the electron as a result of the electric field? A.
2.0 × 10-6 newtons
B.
3.2 × 10-17 newtons
C.
5.8 × 105 newtons
D.
6.4 × 10-3 newtons
E.
1.7 × 104 newtons
