Question

a charged cloud system Produces an electric field in the air near the Earth's surface A particle of charge - 2* 10 ^- 9 coulomb is acted on by a downward electrostatic force of 3*10^-6 Newton when placed in this field the gravitational and electrostatic force respectively exerted on a Proton placed in this field are??

Answer 1

Hey mate,

● Answer-
GF = 1.6×10^-26 N
EF = 2.5×10^-16 N

● Explaination-
# Given-
q = 1.67×10^-19 C
E = 1.5×10^3
m = 1.6×10^-27 kg
g = 10 m/s^2

# Solution-
Gravitational force-
GF = mg
GF = 1.6×10^-27 × 10
GF = 1.6×10^-26 N

Electrostatic force-
EF = qE
EF = 1.67×10^-19 × 1.5×10^3
EF = 2.5×10^-16 N

Hope this helps...
