    Help with electric field problems

    Still not sure Using F=qE I know the q What is the F then? Is there a certain number for the gravity on the surface of the earth? I know that F= ma, but I'm not sure where to go from this any other help would be appreciated

    Help with electric field problems

    I have two electric field problems that I need help solving: 1. How strong an electric field is needed to support an electron against gravity on the surface of the earth? I know the charge of an electron is -1.60 x 10^-19C I think that you use the equation V=Ed, but I don't know what to...

    What is the power output of the sun?

    I have a physics problem that I am stuck on: Approximately 4 x 10^9 kg of matter is converted into energy each second in the sun. Find the power output of the sun. I know the answer is 3.6 x 10^26 W I just can't figure out how to get the correct equation and numbers. Any help would be...
