1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

The electric field intensity just sufficient to balance the earth's gravitational attraction on an electron will be: (given mass and charge of an electron respectively are $9.1 \times 10^{-31}\,kg$ and $1.6 \times$ $10^{-19}\,C$.)

A

$-5.6 \times 10^{-11} N / C$

B

$-4.8 \times 10^{-15} N / C$

C

$-1.6 \times 10^{-19} N / C$

D

$-3.2 \times 10^{-19} N / C$

Solution

(a)

$- eE = mg$

$\overrightarrow{ E } =-\frac{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 10}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}=-5.6 \times 10^{-11} N / C$
