An electron travels 0.01 m across an electric potential difference of 6 x 10^6 V. What is the force exerted on the electron? Type your answer below including the correct units

Explanation:

The force experienced by a charged particle immersed in an electric field is

where

q is the charge of the particle

E is the strength of the electric field

For a uniform field, we can write

where

is the potential difference

d is the distance travelled

So we can rewrite the force as

In this problem:

is the charge of the electron

is the potential difference

d = 0.01 m is the distance covered

Substituting, we find the force:

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
