Answer:
2.2 × 10-14 newtons
Explanation:
The electric force exerted on a charged particle is given by
[tex]F=qE[/tex]
where we have in this case:
[tex]q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C[/tex] is the charge of the electron
[tex]E=1.4\cdot 10^5 N/C[/tex] is the strength of the electric field
Since we are only interested in the magnitude of the electric force, we can neglect the negative sign of the charge; therefore, the strength of the electric force is
[tex]F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(1.4\cdot 10^5 N/C)=2.2\cdot 10^{-14} N[/tex]
