Suppose you want to determine the electric field in a certain region of space. You have a small object of known charge and an instrument that measures the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the object by the electric field.(a) The object has a charge of +40.0 ?C and the instrument indicates that the electric force exerted on it is 35.0 ?N, due east. What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field?
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field if the object has a charge of -10.0 ?C and the instrument indicates that the force is 35.0 ?N, due west?

ANSWER

Force on a charge=magnitude of charge * electric field
magnitude of electric field=35/40=.875 NC
direction of force is same as direction of electric field is charge is positive . so direction of electric field is east

b)magnitude =35/10=3.5NC
direction of force is opposite direction of Electric field is chargeis negative . so field is in east direction

A 6.60 −μC particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1350 N/C points in the positive x direction, and a magnetic field of magnitude 1.25 T points in the positive z direction. If the net force acting on the particle is 6.21×10−3 N in the positive x direction, find the components of the particle's velocity. Assume the particle's velocity is in the x-y plane.

An electron is placed in a region with a 1010 V/m electric field directed in the positive x-direction. The electron escapes this region after traveling 14.0 cm. What is the kinetic energy of the electron? What is the particle's velocity? Will a proton placed at the same initial position and traveling through a similar 14.0 cm path acquire the same amount of kinetic energy? Will the proton experience the same change in velocity? Why or why not? I have seen...
