Example 2 - An electron travels through a region where
there is a downward electric field of 325 N/C. What
force in what direction acts on the electron, and what is
its acceleration?
F = Eq = (325 N/C)(1.602x10-19 C) = 5.21x10-17 N up
F = ma, a = F/m = (5.21x10-17 N)/(9.11x10-31kg) = 5.72x1013 m/s/s

Ishunta Dunnit notices that a charge
of -125 C experiences a force of .15 N
to the right. What is the electric field
and its direction?
E = F/q = (.15 N)/(-125x10-6 N) = -1200 N/C right
or 1200 N/C left

Doan Botherme places a +12 mC
charge into an upward 160 N/C
electric field. What force in what
direction does it experience?

Alfred O. Dadark is on a planet where
a mass of 0.12 kg experiences a
downward force of 7.80 N. What is
the gravitational field on the surface
of this planet?
g = F/m, m = 1.12 kg, E = 7.80 N down
g = (7.80 N down)/(0.12 kg) = 65 N/kg down
65 N/kg down

Sal F. Hone levitates a .00125 kg ball
with an upward electric field of 590

Away from positive
Toward negative

Fields around points of mass or charge
Example: What is the electric field 2.0 m
to the right of a -21 μC charge?
E = kq/r2 =
(8.99E9)(-21E-6)/(22) =
-47,197.5 N/C (away) or
47,000 N/C toward
a, b, c are points,
Q is a charge
