Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B

What is the y-component of the electric force on a proton at this point?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part C

What is the x-component of the electric force on an electron at this point?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

F = qE

A)

Fx = qEx = 1.6*10^-19*900 = 1.44e-16 N

B)

Fy = qEy = 1.6*10^-19*100 = 1.6e-17 N

C)

Fx = qEx = -1.6*10^-19*900 = -1.44e-16 N

B)

Fy = qEy = -1.6*10^-19*100 = -1.6e-17 N
