An electron moving through an electric
field experiences an acceleration of 7200 ×
10^3 m/s2.
Find the magnitude of the electric force
acting on the electron. The Coulomb constant
is 8.99 × 109 N · m2/C2 and the fundamental
charge is 1.60 × 10−19
So I thought that since E*q=F then it would also be the same as F=m*a so it would be:
E*q=m*a
(E)*(1.60e-19 C)=(9.11e-31kg)(7200e3 m/s^2)
which when you do out the calculations would get you E=4.0995e-5.
Somehow I think Newton is crying in the grave with this witchcraft I just created.
Did I have the right idea or am I way off?
