I'm back again this week with a problem:

A particle has a charge of +1.5 Micro Coulombs and moves from point A to point B, a distance of .20 m. The particle experiences a constant electric force, and its motion is along the line of action of the force. The difference between the particle's electric potential energy at A and B is EPEA - EPEB = +9.0x10-4 J. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force that acts on the particle. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field that the particle experiences.
