Question

The uniform electric filed between two horizontalplates is 80,000 Coulombs. The top plate is positively charged andthe lower plate has an equal negative charge. What are themagnitude and direction of the electric force acting on an electronas it passes horizontally through the plates?

Explanation / Answer

          Electric Force F = Electric field   /charge  
                      chargeof electron   q   = 1.60 x 10-19C                      F = 8 x 104    / 1.60 x 10-19                             = 5 x 1023 N
