The electric field in the atmosphere is about 140 N/C, downward.
(b) Find the electric force on a proton with charge +1.6 10-19 C.
formula please??
Force= E * q
solve for force.
To find the electric force on a proton, you can use the formula:
F = q * E
where:
F is the electric force
q is the charge of the particle
E is the electric field
In this case, the charge of a proton is +1.6 * 10^-19 C, and the electric field is 140 N/C directed downward.
So, plugging in the values:
F = (+1.6 * 10^-19 C) * (140 N/C)
Now we can calculate the force.
