Question

Calculate the electric field at the location of the electron , if an electron is separated from the proton by a distance of 0.53Å

Answer 1

The value of electric field is E = 5.1 x 10^11 NC^-1

Explanation:

E = kq / r^2

K = 9 x 10^9

E = 9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 C / (0.53 x 10^-10)^2

E = 5.1 x 10^11 NC^-1

F = q E

F = -e E

It show that force and electric field are in opposite direction.
