What is the strength of the electric force that acts on the electron?
1.2x10^-16 N
1 of 5
Calculate the weight of the electron (electron mass = 9.11x10^-31 Kg)
8.94x10^-30 N
2 of 5
How does the force exerted on the electron in the electric field compare to the weight of the electron?
The force exerted on the electron in the electric field is greater than the weight of the electron.
3 of 5
What do these results tell you about how these forces affect the electron?
The electron would accelerate faster towards the electric field because the force and therefore acceleration is greater (F = ma)
