force is equal to qE
where q is the nature of chare
E is electric field
if q is +ve the direction of Force and Electric Field is same
if it's -ve the direction of force is opposite to that of Electric Field, hence -ve charge moves in opposite direction

heya answer is here ......


♧When an electron is kept in electric field it experience a force of magnitude given by:-

|F|=qE.

Where, F is the magnitude of force acting on the electron. E is the magnitude of electric field. q is magnitude of charge of electron.

I have not shown here but,F and E are vector quantities. So if the force was acting on proton it would be in the direction of electric field,but here it is electon which has negative charge so force would act in the direction opposite to the electric field.

hope it helps u
