A Proton Is Placed in an Electric Field of Intensity $10 ^ { 9 }$

question 61

Multiple Choice

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 800 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the proton due to this field? (e = 1.60 × 10^-19 C, m_proton = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg)

• A) 7.66 × \(10 ^ { 9 }\) m/\(s ^ { 2 }\) opposite to the electric field
• B) 7.66 × \(10^{10}\) m/\(s ^ { 2 }\) opposite to the electric field
• C) 7.66 × \(10^{10}\) m/\(s ^ { 2 }\) in the direction of the electric field
• D) 76.6 × \(10^{10}\) m/\(s ^ { 2 }\) opposite to the electric field
• E) 76.6 × \(10^{10}\) m/\(s ^ { 2 }\) in the direction of the electric field
