I have a homework question with regards to a charged particle in an electric field.
The particle has a charge of -4e
The field is constant at 45000 N C^1
For this i have been using the equation F_el= q E(r)
The trouble i have been having is trying to work out -4e in Coloumbs.
I know -e=1.602 * 10^-19 coloumbs but is it as simple as 4 * 1.602 * 10^-19?
It just seems to give me a really tiny force in Newtons. I know its only a small particle but something tells me its just not right.
Any help if I am going the right or wrong way would be much appreciated :)
