An electron is placed in a uniform electric field of 1000 N/C. Its acceleration (e = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C, m = 9.1×10⁻³¹ kg) is about:

Answer: 1.76×10¹⁴ m/s².

  • A 1.76×10¹¹ m/s²
  • B 1.76×10¹⁴ m/s²
  • C 1.6×10¹⁶ m/s²
  • D 9.1×10¹³ m/s²

Correct answer: B. 1.76×10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation: a = eE/m = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹·1000/9.1×10⁻³¹ ≈ 1.76×10¹⁴ m/s².

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
