2. How does the force exerted on the electron in the electric field compare to the weight of the electron?

  • The weight of the electron prevents interference from the electric field.
  • The force exerted on the electron in the electric field is greater than the weight of the electron.
  • The weight of the electron is greater than the force exerted on the electron in the electric field.

3. What do these results tell you about how these forces affect the electron?

  • The strength of an electric field is always stronger than the force of gravity.
  • The strength of the force of gravity is always stronger than the strength of an electric field.
  • The electron would accelerate faster towards the electric field because the force and therefore acceleration is greater (F = ma)
  • The electron would keep falling due to gravity even if it was in an electric field.

4. What is the strength of the electric force that acts on the electron?

  • 4.69x10^21 N
  • 1.2x10^-16 N
  • 2.13x10^-22 N
  • Banana N

5. Calculate the weight of the electron (electron mass = 9.11x10^-31 Kg)

  • 8.94x10^-30 N
  • Orange N
  • 9.29x10^-32 N
  • 1.08x10^31 N
